| MECH 311 - Introduction to Mechanical System Design |
|
The objective of the course is to teach fundamentals of machine elements and mechatronics design, with an emphasis on product design and fabrication. Design, analysis and fabrication of prototype mechatronic systems and devices are completed. Mechanical designs concepts including transmission methods, force and torque analysis, mechanisms and simulation is covered. Formal design processes such as brainstorming and concept-tree development are utilized. Intellectual property law pertinent to design and invention is covered. The synergistic combination of sensors, actuators and controls technologies to create functionally “smart” and adaptive devices is implemented. Sensors and actuator technologies are covered. The course culminates with an open-ended project to design and fabricate a mechatronic system using basic machining equipment and a programmable controller.
