Course Info
An introduction to the basic principles of circuit theories, RL and RC circuits, transduction principles, mechanical measurements, instrumentation techniques, operational amplifiers, data acquisition, Programmable Logic Control, power electronics and electric machines and control. Almost all mechanical systems incorporate electrical, electronic, and computational elements in the form of sensors, data acquisition units, signal conditioning and processing, control systems, motors etc. To use these elements effectively, Mechanical Engineers must have an understanding of how they work, their performance characteristics, and limitations. This course covers the fundamental electrical and electronic theories necessary to understand what is going on inside these elements, as well as practical aspects such as how their behaviour might affect their intended use in engineering applications.
