IntroductionCentral Connecticut State University’s School of Technology has recently faced anunprecedented challenge — but also a unique opportunity — in curriculum development. Theschool was charged with establishing a brand new (and the first) full engineering program in itsacademic offer. The faculty and administration started building an engineering program virtuallyfrom scratch. One must note, however, that implementing major components toward a futureengineering program had been underway for many years. The university already has in

This course introduces basic concepts in the design, analysisand real-time control of robotic systems within the context of medical applications.
