Our past columns have emphasized repeatedly that modeling is the single most important activity in mechatronics, which is becoming the design process of choice for successful multidisciplinary systems ...

It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

We anticipate that students possess a grasp of fundamental mathematical concepts equivalent to those covered in the first year of studies for STEM majors at a US college. Additionally, a familiarity ...

A variety of linear models are available to represent common active electronic devices such as transistors and vacuum tubes. Devices operating under large-signal conditions often require nonlinear ...
