Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to provide the students with a fundamental understanding of the theory and industrial applications of hydraulic actuation systems.

The course objectives include:
1) Providing the students with a fundamental understanding of relevant theoretical aspects of hydraulics,
2) Familiarizing the student with common hydraulic fluids and their properties,
3) Explaining hydraulic circuits and hydraulic circuit element symbols,
4) Providing the students with hands-on experience in hydraulic systems through laboratories and experiments,
5) Discussing in detail important and emerging applications of hydraulic systems.

Learning Outputs

Course Content

COP4410 Bosch Rexroth Hydraulic Power and Applications is designed as an introductory level course in hydraulics under the Mechatronics Engineering curriculum. The course is divided into three parts. The first part will focus on providing the students with the fundamental theory of hydraulics. Theoretical knowledge acquired in the first part will be put to use in experiments conducted in the second part of the course. The course will conclude with in-class discussion of important and common applications of hydraulics. Topics to be covered include fundamentals of hydraulics, hydraulic circuit diagrams and symbols, hydraulics fluids, hydraulic actuation elements and valves. Theoretical materials will be supplemented with experiments and in-class discussions and demonstrations of popular hydraulics applications.
