Integrated use of principles from different engineering disciplines has become pervasive in the modern manufacturing environment in the Industry 4.0 era. This course is Part I of a two-course sequence, which offers a survey of the fundamental engineering techniques useful for the intelligent manufacturing engineers. The students will learn the basics of practical mechanics and electronics principles. With this foundation, the students will further learn techniques such as elementary robotics and elementary Internet-of-Things techniques. In the laboratory sessions, students will work in teams to apply the learned principles practically.
