ENGR& 104 Introduction to Design: Mechatronics & Robotics
Minimum Units: 5
Maximum Units: 5
Introduction to design methodologies using mechatronics and robotics systems as case studies. Students will learn principles of design methods, then use rapid prototyping tools to design and build electronics and mechanical components, assemble these into a robot and program it to accomplish a specific design goal.
Prerequisite Required: ENGR& 114 or ENGR 102 or CS 110 or CS& 141 or ENGR 202 or PHYS& 221 , with a grade of 2.0 or better.
Add Consent: Not Required
Drop Consent: Not Required
Grading System: Mandatory decimal grading
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Function effectively as part of a team in carrying out laboratory experiments and open-ended projects.
- Document a laboratory experiment and open-ended projects clearly and completely in written form.
- Describe design methods used in industrial design
- Describe a mechatronics system using functional block diagrams
- Employ rapid prototyping methods and tools (including a 3D printer, circuit printer, scanner and laser cutter) to design and manufacture electromechanical assemblies
- Determine the torque and speed requirements for a given motion control application considering system inertia, external forces or torques, and motion profiles, and select an appropriate motor.
- Write embedded software to successfully interact with sensors, power interfaces, analog and digital IO ports, and other peripheral elements in the control of a mechatronic system or a simple robot.
