Course Objective

The objective of this course is to teach fundamentals of pneumatics and hydraulics in mechatronics to provide background
* for understanding operation of the pneumatic and hydraulic systems which mechatronic engineers deal with in their working environments
* to determine the requirements of the pneumatic and hydraulic industrial automation systems to integrate their designs
* to establish communicational and informative skills to collaborate in multidisciplinary projects with computer, electrical and electronics engineers.
