Description

Integrated design of mechanical motion transmission systems: gearing, couplings, bearings, power screws, fasteners, and their integration; sensing and measurement of mechanical motion; specification and selection of motors and electromechanical actuators; analysis and design of controllers for motion transmission systems; case studies.

Sounds like another course about fasteners, gears, and shafts… great.
