ME 106 Fundamentals of Mechatronics The Plan Roll call Pre-req sig. list My background My background Canvas and course materials Syllabus & Resources Assignments Success in ME 106 What is mechatronics? Concept map Review of basic concepts in electronics Objectives Clarify registration Understand where the class is headed and what is expected of you Get a handle on what mechatronics is all about Get refreshed on fundamental concepts in electronics
3
Two primary resources for ME 106 www.engr.sjsu.edu/bjfurman/courses/ME106 https://sjsu.instructure.com/courses/1137129 Canvas (note usage) Web page

How to be successful in ME 106 Turn in all the assignmentsassignments Do the reading (see the syllabus) Prepare for lab 1) read the lab manual (see ME 106 web page), 2) highlight action items in one color, 3) highlight data to collect in another color, 4) write any code that can be done before the lab session Participate in the lab Dig into the subject!
5
Assignments Read the syllabus carefully (let me know of any discrepancies) Go to Canvas course shell Update your messaging options Fill out the Questionnaire Include a clear picture of you! (jpg or png pasted in) Due Thursday, 8/27/15 Hardcopy at the beginning of lecture Softcopy in Canvas (note the naming convention for the softcopy) Get started on Homework 1 – Due 8/27/15 hardcopy and softcopy Access from Canvas Assignments Read the Introduction to the Mechatronic Engineering Laboratory experiment guideline Take pre-lab quiz 1 in Canvas (in Quizzes) before your lab Get started on the PortMaster build and Soldering Quiz
6
Networking Get with two others nearby whom you have not met, introduce yourselves, and share: Name What you did over the break Hobbies or interests outside of school
