MENG 181 - Mechanical Control Programming

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 75

Restricted to students in Mechanical Engineering Technology
Using programming of microcontroller-based control systems, students will be introduced to the creation of automated control systems for electro-mechanical applications. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and stand-alone microcontrollers will be programmed and used. Program design and programming language syntax will be detailed. Devices such as switches, potentiometers, lights, a variety of sensors, and RC Servo motors will be used. Flow-charts and other programming related topics will be covered.
