MEC 201: Mechanisms and Introduction to Mechatronics

In this course, students will gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills for shaft, belt, gear and chain drives using real-world motor drive components. Students will learn and apply these skills in mechanical drives training systems and interactive online mechanical drives curriculum. They will also build skills in hands-on mechanical drives including mechanical drive systems, power transmission systems, v-belt drives, chain drives, spur gear drives, and multiple shaft drives. Students will be introduced to Lock-out/Tag-out safety procedures and 5S workplace organization. This course is the foundation for mechatronics programs. The title of this course was previously Mechanisms. Level I Prerequisite: Academic Reading and Writing Levels of 6; Academic Math Level 3
