Electrical and Mechatronic Design ENG232

Introduction

In this unit knowledge and skills developed through the engineering course are applied in a team-based environment to the design and implementation of robotics and automation systems and electrical systems as used in industry. Students will complete a design project focused in the areas of electrical and mechatronic engineering. In the team project students will learn the application of engineering design processes, measurement, tolerance and reliability in addition to specialised skills required in electrical and mechatronic design.

Note

Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Learning Outcomes

  • Analyse requirements for an electrical or mechatronic system to produce a system specification.
  • Design a microcontroller-based mechatronic system which include sensors and actuators according to the principles of top-down design.
  • Develop functional circuit hardware, microcontroller software and control algorithms for interaction with the physical world.
  • Verify electrical and mechatronic system implementation through experimental measurements and demonstration.
  • Manage a design project through its full cycle with regular monitoring, reflection and improvement.
