12 courses with the subject JEM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
JEM 123Introduction to Computer Aided Design for Mechatronics1
This course presents the basic concepts of Computer Aided Design (CAD) for Mechatronics Engineering. Solidworks is used as the design tool. Students learn solid modeling of parts and assemblies, along with generation of engineering drawings. This includes standard practices for dimensioning and tolerances.

This course is a hands-on introduction to Mechatronic systems. Mechatronics systems involve electronic circuitry, mechanical components, and computers or microcontrollers. In this first of 3 lab courses, students are exposed to the use of basic circuit components, design and fabrication of mechanical components using CAD, and simple programming techniques. Construction of various Mechatronics systems demonstrate how sensors, actuators and control logic can be combined to accomplish complex tasks.
This course is the second of three hands-on lab courses enabling students to design and construct various Mechatronics systems. Various industry standard sensors and actuators are introduced. Layout and fabrication of simple circuit boards is practiced, along with basic circuit simulation. CAD skills are broadened to explore mechanism motion and animation. Finite Element Analysis is introduced for static stress analysis.

This course is devoted to the development of mathematical models of mechatronics engineering systems. The course will introduce the fundamental concepts of analytical modeling, numerical modeling, Laplace transforms, computer simulation, digital systems, and control theory.
Control techniques for robotics and autonomous systems. In this project-based course, students will demonstrate robotic control capabilities through programming physical and virtual robots. Key methodologies include advanced robot control, robot coordination, sensing, state estimation, motion planning, and robotic kinematics. Applications in specific robotic areas including industrial robots and wheeled robots.
This course is the third hands-on Mechatronics lab course. As in prior courses, the goal is to have students design and construct a variety of Mechatronic systems. Topics include programming and simulation of industrial robots, an introduction to Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, and the use of Programmable Logic Controllers in industry. Finite element capabilities are expanded to include simple heat transfer simulations, along with generative design of mechanical components.
