  16. “Smart Mechatronics” • NSF proposal • CCLI A&I: Smart Mechatronics • YangQuan Chen (PI) and Wenbin Yu • “Smart Mechatronics” is to introduce smart materials-based sensors and actuators and the related signal processing and control challenges into the undergraduate mechatronic course which is offered for both electrical engineering and mechanical and aerospace engineering seniors to better prepare the students’ global competitiveness. We believe this is a novel A&I effort. The PIs will develop teaching modules and labs on “smart mechatronics” which will be beneficial to engineering undergraduate students in both Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) departments. Control-II: from Digital Control to Mechatronics to Smart Mechatronics

  17. Rationale • “We strongly believe that our next-generation civil, mechanical and military systems will heavily depend on smart materials to further improve the performance. Therefore, it is critical for us to start training our students for the future work force right now. It is right time to shift the traditional mechatronics to “smart mechatronics” with adequate exposure to smart materials and smart material based transducers.” • from the proposal.

  18. Proposed changes in “Mechatronics” • Overview of smart materials and smart mechatronics; Challenges in signal processing and high performance control of smart mechatronic systems ( 1 week) • Smart material based sensors (1 week) • Smart material based actuators ( 1 week) Control-II: from Digital Control to Mechatronics to Smart Mechatronics
