Course contents

Integrated design process of mechatronics systems; components of mechatronics systems, sensors and actuators, fundamental principal of operation for components, strengths and weaknesses, and operational characteristics. The design process; integrated iterative design, sub-systems, component selection and sizing, design considerations, state-of-the-arts and challenges. Design exercises with increasing degrees of complexity. Others are mechatronics design concepts: integrative design, concepts analogies between electrical and mechanical systems, appreciation of components of mechatronics systems, formulation of design requirements, design exercise and justifications, optimal division into sub systems component, selection and sizing prototype development, appraisal of benefit and cost evolution of mechatronics design and challenges. case studies.
