Dr. Fengjun Yan

The course will introduce a variety of linear and nonlinear control design techniques that are particularly useful for internal combustion engine systems. Combinations of engine system characteristics with control theory will be described through examples generated from pertinent research projects. Matlab/Simulink will be extensively used for engine control system analysis, design, and simulation studies. There will be a student self-proposed or instructorassigned term project.

Fundamental theory and practical applications of robotic manipulators and mobile robots. Equations of motion, robot dynamics and statics, motion planning, introduction to machine vision, basics of robot programming. Three lectures (Term 1)

This course focuses on internal combustion engines (ICE), including operations, thermodynamics, combustion, and characteristics of gasoline and diesel engines, as well hybrid powertrains. Three lectures, first term Prerequisite(s): Registration in Level IV or above of any Mechanical Engineering program or Engineering Physics program
