Textbook

Introduction to Mechatronics and Measurment Systems, by Alciatore & Histand, 4th edition.

Although we will use the 4th edition of this text, an arrangement will be made to enable students who posses the 3rd edition to use it instead.

Prerequisites

ME 6.
Good working knowledge of Matlab. Some HW exercises, class lectures and data analysis form lab experiments will use various parts of Matlab.
