Objectives of the Course
Mechatronics program is to provide students with basic information about Machine Elements and Graduation Project courses that they will take in later periods. For this purpose; To give basic concepts about behavior of objects under load (deformations, stresses, stability analysis etc.), strength calculations required for elementary sizing calculations and to use them in the solution of engineering problems.
