ETEC 100 - Introduction to Mechatronics Formerly: ETEC 100 Introduction to Maker Skills
Credit(s): 3
This is an introductory course in designing and making an electro-mechanical robotics project. Skills in building electronic/mechanical objects are learned and practiced by building a specific project. Skills are useful for individuals that wish to make things in the FVCC maker-space lab. Specific skills using machining tools, 3D design, 3D printing, electronics, micro-controllers and programming are covered. This course is may be repeated for a total of nine credits. Students receiving financial aid or veterans’ benefits should contact the Financial Aid Office before repeating this course. (Fall and Spring Semesters)
Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to - Create 3D models and 2D prints using Solidworks.
- Create an STL file and print that file on a 3D printer.
- Program and cut an object on a CNC driven tool.
- Properly use a multimeter.
- Understand electronic concepts such as voltage, current and resistance.
- Solder simple electronic components into functional circuits.
- Create basic electronic circuit diagrams.
- Connect an electronic micro-controller to a simple circuit.
