In this course we will be studying neural networks using the Multi-Layer-Perceptron Network (MLP) and Radial-Basis-Function (RBF) in detail, as well as Learning Algorithm. After, we will describe some of the control methods using neural networks. Then comes the fuzzy logic (principles and fuzzy logic control) and the integration of fuzzy methods in neural networks. Then we study the Kalman and the WienerHopf filters.

In recent years, industrial maintenance has seen many significant advances. This is due to many factors, including sophisticated equipment and severity norms on safety and security equipment. This course is designed to provide students with the fundamental principles of industrial maintenance, and it covers the following topics: maintenance function, system failures, corrective and preventive maintenance, dependently, cost reliability, organization and control.)

In this course, we will study PLCS in detail as well as how to use them and their programming methods. A detailed study of Grafcet, Ladder and Programmable Controllers will be presented. After we familiarize students with the fieldbus CAN, I2C, MODBUS and Ethernet Industrial.

Students will learn about IEC 611313 programming using Beckhoff’s TwinCAT (System Manager, PLC control and ADS); development of human machine interfaces using InduSoft; and the application to power measurement, stepper motors and servomotors.

This course is designed to present the methods of electrical machines diagnosis in the industries. It covers the following topics: faults of rotating machines and their diagnostics; modelling the faults of stator, rotor and winding in the electrical machine; closed loop diagnosis of asynchronous machine; observer based fault diagnosis; thermal supervision of rotating machines (asynchronous machine); and diagnosis using neural network methods. Each method will be described and presented with an application.

Mechatronics is a design philosophy involving a complete integration of mechanical engineering, electronics, control theory and computer engineering in order to design a product. It is based on an interdisciplinary approach involving many disciplines concurrently and allowing flexibility and adaptability by replacing some mechanical functions by electronic processing. After introducing basic elements of a mechatronic system, the course presents methods of modelling, analyzing and controlling engineering systems based on modern technologies and allowing the students to follow an interdisciplinary approach starting from the earliest stages of the design.

The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to microcontroller families: Motorola, Intel, Microchip. We will be studying the internal resources and programming of Microchip PIC microcontrollers, as well as developing multiple practical applications.

The main objective of this course is to apply different microcontroller topics and peripherals, introduced using the C language, physically. To do so, the PIC24FJ256DA210 Development Board is used along with the MPLAB program to build and make the program. Software Debugging using the ICD3 is also applied.

The course introduces the different sources of renewable energy: solar energy, wind energy, water energy, biomass energy. It also provides the fundamental concepts of power grid and microgrid integration using green energy sources. For each application, exercises and design problems are given throughout the course. Students’ oral presentations play a major role in understanding contemporary issues and the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.

In this laboratory, students will learn the sizing, the installation, the characteristics, and the optimum design of each renewable energy source and system. We will focus on photovoltaic panels, solar water heaters, wind turbines, and fuel cells.

By the end of this course the students must be able to imagine and describe the motion of any robot. They will learn the skills to be able to analyze the velocities, singularities and force transmissions involved.

The English 516 is designed for students working on their thesis. It gives them the opportunity to enhance their writing abilities and develop their critical thinking. It is designed to provide rigorous training in advanced reading, critiquing, synthesizing and researching. It attempts to help students achieve greater competency in reading, writing, reflection, and discussion emphasizing the responsibilities of written inquiry and structured reasoning. Students are expected to investigate questions that are at issue for themselves and their audience and for which they do not already have answers. In other words, this course should help students write about what they have learned through their research rather than simply write an argument supporting one side of an issue or another. In addition, students deliver one oral powerpoint presentation based on their writings.

The purpose of this course is to provide an in-depth study of the numerical control of sampled systems, including a detailed study of nonlinear systems with Microcontroller Based Applications.

The main objective of this lab is to experiment topics learned in the advanced control one using Matlab and Simulink. Also, some new topics are introduced as the calculation of the PID controller, hardware implementation.The

This course is designed to provide the student with the fundamental principles of the electric energy production and distribution. Energy production is treated at first. Several types of power stations are presented and compared. The energy transmission lines and distribution systems are studied next along with a review of power transformers and the per-unit system.

This course pushes the students to demonstrate readiness to start their careers as professional engineers by undertaking an investigation of a research topic relevant to the profession and by appraising its practical experience. The research topic and applied developed product or study will give the students the opportunity to marshal the relevant knowledge and skills from various courses and laboratories of the program and apply them to investigate an approved research topic and then produce a report of professional standard. This course requires the students to exhibit/develop a proactive approach to manage, orient and present a project.
