Overview

This course will teach students C++ and Matlab programing. The first half of the course focuses on the learning of C++ programming for Mechatronic Engineering. During the second half of the course, the students are introduced to Matlab in the context of Mechatronic systems. The courses in the Mechatronics discipline … For more content click the Read More button below.

The courses in the Mechatronics discipline are built upon four different areas. They are: mechanical design, computing, electronics and microprocessors, and control systems. The latter three areas are interrelated, and this course forms a cornerstone of the fundamental courses on which the Mechatronic Engineering program at UNSW is built. A high level of programming skills is necessary to develop customised interface routines to communicate with/control various elements of Mechatronic systems. This knowledge is essential in programming control systems and developing software modules for the interfacing of various hardware elements together to form complete Mechatronic Systems. As such, the contributions from this course to the Mechatronic Engineering degree program are absolutely essential.
