Description
This course focuses on the methods for developing and analysing mechanical, electrical, computational, and control systems, emphasising their integration into advanced mechatronic systems. It aims to equip students with the competencies necessary to design, analyse, fabricate, integrate, and evaluate complex mechatronic systems. The curriculum includes lectures that cover the essential principles of mechatronic systems, touching on areas such as Components, Integration, and Control: system fabrication, a variety of sensors and instrumentation, actuation methods, digital data acquisition, signal preprocessing, hardware interfacing, as well as programming for microcontrollers and their peripherals. Additionally, the module features practical sessions that focus on the real use of mechatronic components. A significant component of the course is a comprehensive project, where students engage in the development and refinement of a fully functional mechatronic system.
