This free online engineering course examines the key components and electrical elements of mechatronic systems. Every system has basic principles that guide it and this free online course explores those of mechatronics, which unite mechanical, electrical and computer technologies. This course covers the fundamentals of mechatronic systems and uses familiar examples to make their more complex and technical aspects easier to understand. We also study the working principles of their electrical elements to illustrate the crucial role these machines play.
