Abstract

Internal combustion engines, ICE, have evolved to mechatronic systems. They consist of thermodynamic processes, electromechanic, hydraulic or pneumatic actuators, electronic sensors and one or more digital control units. This paper is aimed at presenting the modern combustion engines from a Mechatronics perspective to be taken into account in the course on Mechatronics in the “Mechanical Technology curriculum” at the Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira. The Laboratory of Mechatronics is under development and the course methodology seeks to use some machines, among which the internal combustion engine is listed. It is described the broad concept of mechatronics, the composition of modern ICE engines; two engine test benche sdeveloped as teaching tools for testing and control of ICE are presented.
