| Course code : | ME-PRJ4-U1 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 10 | Status : | Compulsory |
| Revised : | 04/02 2010 | Written : | 04/02 2010 |
| Placement : | 4. semester | Hours per week : | 15 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English |
| Objective : | To acquire skills and knowledge in product analysis, modelling and design, applied to control processes and robotics, using both technical and industrial design, where the quality of the project work is the main issue. A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: • Use the basic steps of the product development process in a proper manner. • Identify and describe a technical problem properly. • Perform a thorough product design and modelling, using topics from the related semester courses. • Select the optimal materials, using the CES EduPack Materials and Processes selection software. • Carry out the necessary control engineering and electronics calculations for the main parts of the product. • Find suitable mathematical models for the control systems involved. • Produce technical drawings, including assembly drawing, using SolidWorks. • Use MATLAB/Simulink to validate the technical aspect of the product. • Evaluate the safety of the product according to known standards. |
||
| Principal Content : | The project involves the analysis, modelling and design of a mechatronic system such as a mobile robot. It includes problem solving, concept development, function description, materials selection, brainstorming, and technical drawings, together with stability and safety calculations. | ||
| Teaching method : | Introductory lectures. Project work in small groups, including computer simulations, laboratory exercises, use of internet search engines and case studies. | ||
| Required prequisites : | ME-IND, ME-MTR, ME-MAT1, ME-MEC2. | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | ME-PRJ3. | ||
| Relations : | ME-MAT1, ME-ELD, ME-CEN, ME-MEC2. | ||
| Type of examination : | Oral examination based on a project | ||
| External examiner : | External | ||
| Marking : | 7 step scale | ||
| Remarks : | This project is closely related to the courses in the 4th semester, especially Control Engineering (ME-CEN) and electronics Design (ME-ELD). It is primarily for students enrolled in the program “Engineering Design & Industrial Innovation”, offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. | ||
| Teaching material : | Lecture notes on CampusNet. | ||
