Control
Engineering & Mechatronics Laboratory |
The Control Engineering and Mechatronics Lab is situated in
two different rooms in this building. The Process Control
Lab is part of the Chemical Engineering Lab, and is used by
students taking control theory in the Chemical Engineering,
Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering Departments.
The equipment includes level-flow, temperature, pressure,
pH, and motor control stations. Students familiarize themselves
with the equipment and design new experiments. Laboratory
groups consist of students from each of the departments.In
the mechatronics and controls laboratory, students build small-scaledune-buggy
type cars for the mechatronics curriculum. It involves a kitfrom
Feedback Control Systems, Inc, which the students assemble
and wiretogether. Computers are available to download the
programs onto theboards, allowing the students to auto-navigate
the buggies.Students also work on the current ASME competition
in the same space. Our goal is to participate in the ASME
Region II Design competition eachyear. There are also students
working on various projects in MechanicalEngineering, including
a Battlebot and a hybrid electric tricycle.
