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 two design projects focused in the areas of mechatronics/electronics and electrical power engineering. In the design projects students will learn the application of engineering standards, tolerance and reliability in addition to specialised skills required in electrical 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
- Design microcontroller-based mechatronic systems which include sensors and actuators.
- Develop functional circuit hardware designs, microcontrollers software and control algorithms for mechatronic systems.
- Design an electrical or electronic system to meet design specifications.
- Review the design process, reflecting in particular on how you worked as a team and on the processes used for acquiring required information.
- Communicate the results and process of laboratories and design projects in a way that can be clearly understood by a technical audience familiar with the field..
