Stepper motor applications across electrical engineering technology curriculum

The electrical engineering (EE) section represents all aspects of the electrical segment of a stepping motor (SM) application. However, the EE system consists of various subsystems that differ by function and by content. These subsystems are: electric machines which are responsible for research, design,selection, installation, adjustment, operation, and maintenance of a SM as a rotating machine; digital circuits which are responsible for the sequential excitation of motor windings in response to signals from the control subsystem; electronic power driver which responds to excitation signals from the digital circuit; and control subsystem which is responsible for control system design, optimization, stability and performance analysis.
