| Course Objectives: | The MCH4921 course is one of the three main design courses in the curriculum. In this course, Students are expected to combine the theoretical knowledge and practical experience they gained throughout their first three years of study in core science, engineering, and technology related courses to formulate, design, and preferably build a mechatronics system from ground up. In particular, the course focuses on the individual design and integration of key mechatronics subsystems including mechanical chassis, actuators, sensors and electronics, embedded computers and programming, control theory to form a functioning complex mechatronic system. During the course, students will learn, how to (i) model a mechatronics system, (ii) simulate a mechatronics system, (iii) optimize a mechatronics system, (iv) select off-the-shelf products and design new components for missing items and, (iv) develop experiments for evaluating their design. |

The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) Ability to model and simulate the primary components and the entirety of a complex mechatronics system. 2) Ability to select suitable off-the-shelf components and/or design components in accordance with the performance specifications of a complex mechatronic system. 3) Unify skills obtained in the undergraduate courses to achieve the ability to physically design a complex mechatronic system through integration of subsystems subject to engineering standards, realistic constraints and conditions. 4) Ability to optimize a complex mechatronic system design based on a performance metric. 5) Ability to design and execute experiments for the evaluation, verification and validation of a complex mechatronic system design. |
