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.
