Quick Help

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 robotic, automation and electrical systems as used in industry. Students will develop microcontroller-based mechatronic systems using kinematic design, motors and motor drivers, analogue and digital I/O, serial interfaces, timer-based systems and asynchronous programming. Students will learn how to design and build power supplies for mechatronic systems using battery and battery monitoring technology, voltage conversion and power budgets.
