Expected Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this module the student should be able to:

1. Apply knowledge and understanding gained from theoretical work and investigativework to solve mechatronic problems;

2. Demonstrate an understanding of mechatronic engineering and concepts;

3. Evaluate components and instruments, from manufacturers data and principles ofoperation, in order to determine the most appropriate technology for a givenapplication.

4. Plan, design and test a mechatronic system.

Transferable/Key Skills and other attributes:

The ability to interpret and summarise information

Be able to make reasoned judgments based upon factual information.

Prepare a written engineering technical report of the investigation;

Prepare and deliver a presentation.

Assessment: Type, Weighting and Indicative Schedule:

The assessment is 100% in-course.Assessment 1 - Portfolio of work relating to practical activities inclusive of log-book/diaryAssessment 2 - Presentation to provide a clear overview of the topic investigated includingexplanations and summary of results together with an analysis of their relevance, limitationsand how the results relate to the objectives of the engineering design, an appropriatetechnical level should be achieved and demonstrated through hardware development.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:The module will be delivered through practical investigation/demonstrations and ComputerSimulations in support of formal lectures and tutorials. Also there will be extensive use of VLE(Moodle) for additional support and formative work outside of timetabled contact periods.

Syllabus outline:Modelling and simulation of dynamic processes: Different types of mathematical models for

an industrial dynamic process; Mechanical/Electrical analysis-based modelling;Empirical data-based modelling; Linear time invariant models; Model structureselection; Model parameter identification/estimation.

Analysis and simulation of a range of mechanical/electrical transducers and actuators foranalogue/ digital interfaces such as;pressure/heat/chemical/electromechanical/optical.

Electronic interface design between the digital controller and the analogue/digital mechatronicprocesses to maximize the speed, efficiency and reliability of their operation.

Mechatronic systems design implementation using High level software industry standards,such as VEE /LabView and Matlab, and lower level control using Embedded microcontroller functions. Use of PICs , dedicated industrial microprocessors and PLCinterfaces.
