Program Overview
Analysis of a Mechatronic System
Content, Progress, and Pedagogy of the Module
The module is based on knowledge achieved in the project module Control of Energy Converting Systems or similar.
Learning Objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge about and understanding of the significance of modeling mechatronic systems
- Be able to understand the importance of control engineering as an integrated part of mechatronic design
- Have knowledge about design choices and the interaction of technologies in a mechatronic system
- Be able to understand scientific methods and theories compared to the semester theme and identify different types of problems
- Be able to understand how to set up a business case for the mechatronic system
Skills
- Be able to analyze the relevant dynamic interactions in a mechatronic system
- Be able to set up and apply models, to be able to conduct analyses of mechatronic, electrical, thermal, electro-mechanical, and other multi-disciplinary systems
- Have gained experience with validation of models for mechatronic systems based on laboratory experiments or real-time measured data series
- Be able to analyze obtained results from simulations and laboratory work, or real measured data series, via digital tools
- Be able to understand business principles and be able to conduct a cost-benefit analysis for the mechatronic system
Competences
- Have achieved an ability to convert academic knowledge and skills of the digital analysis of a mechatronic system to a practical problem, be able to work on such a problem, and be able to put this into perspective in relation to the surrounding society
- Have achieved an ability to enter into professional and interdisciplinary collaboration within mechatronic systems
- Be able to evaluate the basic economic conditions for the development and commissioning of systems or devices
Type of Instruction
Problem-based and project-organized work in groups. Some lectures are given in business principles and cost-benefit analysis to support the objectives in this area.
Extent and Expected Workload
Since it is a 15 ECTS project work, the workload is expected to be 450 hours for the student.
