Purpose of class
　In this class, students learn how computers, sensors, electric circuits, and actuators work.
In addition, they learn how to systemize mechanical, electrical and control engineering, and acquire methods to realize the desired machine.
Course description
　Most machines these days are computer-controlled, and the performance of the machines themselves has been improved. With the development of electronics and digital technology centered on computers, it has become possible for machines to operate in fine detail. Such technology is called mechatronics. In the future, machines, as represented by robots, will continue to improve their performance according to their applications.
　In this class, students will learn what mechatronics is, and learn about the basic elemental technologies and systems that form the basis of mechatronics.
Goals and objectives
  1. Be able to explain in detail the name and characteristics of each basic element of mechatronics.
  2. Can select appropriate elements for mechatronics according to the required specifications.
  3. Be able to propose and design an outline of the system.

Evaluation method and criteria
The midterm and final exams will each count for 40% and 60% of the total grade.
If the total score is 100%, then a grade of 60% or above is considered a pass.
A score of 60% indicates a level at which one can generally explain the fundamentals of mechatronics, including computers, sensors, electrical and electronic circuits, and actuators.
