Analysis and design of computer controlled manufacturing systems. Students must enroll in IME 3080 during the semester following IME 3070.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisites: IME 2060 and ECE 2100.

Credits: 4 hours

Lecture Hours - Laboratory Hours: (3 to 3)

1. Understand and use Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws (ECE 2100).
2. Understand basic role and basic functions of active & passive devices (ECE 2100).
3. Understand basic principles of electrical machines (DC/AC machines, transformer, motor) (ECE 2100).
4. Basic understanding of semiconductor devices such as diodes, transistors, Operational Amplifiers (ECE 2100).
