Prerequisites

There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added
Description of module content:

In this module, you will learn the mechatronic design of process/product, by considering the synergistic of various engineering disciplines.   Such approach encourages one to consider system design as a whole from the beginning, especially the system integration consideration.The topics that cover in the module include mechatronic design process, definitions of Mechatronics, advantages of microprocessor, system control, product and process design applications and advantages of mechatronic design approach.  In the design of a product or process, you will also learn conceptual design, user requirement specification, embodiment design, standards, safety regulations, selection of measurement system, controller hardware and software, actuator system, signal conditioning, human-machine interface, design of application program and integration of components.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Analyse the Mechatronic design process.

LO2: Evaluate current developments in Mechatronic applications.

LO3: Design a product or process using a Mechatronic design methodology.

LO4: Justify design decisions applying to the Mechatronic design of a product or process, including an introduction to the topic of product life cycle analysis.

LO5: Demonstrate effective functioning individually and as a team member while critically evaluating personal and team performance.
