Modular Certificate in Core Mechatronic Components

About This Course

1) Module Title: Digital Electronics
- This module equips participants with knowledge of digital electronics by exploring the basic building blocks of combinational digital electronic circuits. Participants will learn number systems, basic logic gates, Boolean algebra, design techniques for combinational logic circuits, decoders, encoders, multiplexers and de-multiplexers and integrated circuit logic families such as TTL and CMOS. Participants will also learn the characteristics of basic latches and flip-flops and their use in combination with sequential circuit operation.

2) Module Title: Sensor Systems
- This module equips students with a comprehensive understanding of sensors commonly employed in industrial and consumer settings. Students will gain proficiency in interfacing diverse sensor modules with microcontroller boards and Single Board Computers.

3) Module Title: Automation Systems
- This module equips students with knowledge and practical skills in instrumentation, automation and control. Students will be trained in electrical safety, automation system design, fieldbus technology, distributed control system, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), motorised actuators and pneumatic systems. The topics covered in this module include electrical safety, properties of various electrical components in automation systems, pneumatic systems and actuators, motorised systems, PLC Programming, Fieldbus technology, Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) for Process Control (PC) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems design. There will be hands-on laboratory sessions for students to hone their practical skills in instrumentation, automation and control system design. These knowledge and skills will prepare them to be ready for work in the transportation, manufacturing, process and automation industries.
