ENGG 197 A-Z - Special Topics in EngineeringSemester Hours: 0-4
Periodically
Advanced topics that are not covered in other engineering courses are discussed.
Current Special Topics
ENGG 197I (A): Fluid Power Mechatronics
This course focuses on the modeling, analysis, and control of fluid power systems in real-world applications. Topics include: fluid properties and fundamentals of fluid mechanics; hydraulic components: hydraulic control valves (pressure, flow, and direction), hydraulic pumps, and hydraulic actuators (linear and rotary); fundamentals of dynamic hydraulic systems (time response, frequency response, transfer functions, state-space equations, linearization, analogies, data-based dynamic modeling); feedback and feedforward hydraulic control design (root-locus, frequency-response, and state-space design, and digital control implementation); and hydraulic control systems (valve-controlled and pump-controlled). Industrial case studies are covered. Hardware demonstrations are included. There is extensive use of MatLab / Simulink / SimHydraulics and relevant MatLab Toolboxes.
Prerequisites: Prerequisite knowledge required is a basic understanding of fluid mechanics, dynamic system modeling and analysis, feedback control, and the use of MatLab / Simulink. (ENGG 130 and 142)
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Permission of instructor. May be repeated for credit when topics vary. Specific titles and course descriptions for special topics courses are available in the online class schedule.
