The B.S. Mechatronics Engineering program at Kennesaw State University originally required Computing 1 and 2 courses delivered by the College of Computing. In an effort to make students’ exposure to programming more relevant for the major, a new course controlled by the Mechatronics Engineering Department was developed to replace Computing 2. In this webinar, Dr. Kevin McFall, Interim Department Chair and Associate Professor at the Kennesaw State University will discuss the contents of the new course, Intermediate Programming for Mechatronics, and its connection to other courses in the program ..read more

Friday, December 7, 10 am EST Presenter: Dr. Venkat Krovi, Michelin Endowed Chair Professor of Automotive Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Clemson UniversityThe mechatronic/robotic paradigm offers immense value for modulating physical power under computer-control and thereby extend the reach of humans in performing the 4D (dull-dumb-dirty-dangerous) tasks. System-level realizations require a synergistic merger of theories/technologies from multiple disciplines (mechanical, electrical, electronics and computational-science) to successfully straddle the physical-digital worlds. The abil ..read more
