Spring 2026 · MAE 6245 Robotics Systems

Robotics Systems is a research-oriented course about what it takes to make robots work in the real world. Students develop a principled understanding of robotic autonomy through a semester-long research project, progressing from critical reading of the literature to formulating and executing an original research idea.

Fall 2025 · MAE4182 · Electromechanical Control System Design

Electromechanical Control System Design introduces the principles and tools used to model, analyze, and design feedback control systems for real engineering applications. The course connects mathematical foundations with practical implementation, emphasizing how dynamic systems behave in time and frequency domains and how feedback enables stability, performance, and robustness.

Students learn classical control techniques—including PID control, root locus, and Bode analysis—while using Python to simulate and evaluate system behavior. The course prepares students to reason about real electromechanical systems, bridge theory and computation, and design controllers that work reliably in practice.
