Unit Code: EEC451

Unit Name: Introduction to Mechatronics

Description: The course will enable students to develop the skills to identify key design parameters, select suitable components from manufacturer?s data, and produce detailed designs from this information with respect to electromechanical systems. This is achieved using specific examples of mechatronic systems biomedical industries. The course also covers sensors, their interface with microprocessors, actuators and computer-based control. The course also provides an introduction to mechatronics design and performance analysis. Provide a foundation in motors, actuators, sensors and computer control required to carry out mechatronic engineering design tasks for industrial biomedical automation applications; Broaden the students? understanding of design process, and in particular the interfaces to other engineering disciplines with which they will need to interact as mechanical engineers; Increase student awareness of design practice in industry.
