Mechatronics plays a crucial role in driving automation and efficiency across various sectors and the integration of mechanical, electrical and computer systems. Our approach to mechatronics education focuses on the development of design instincts over design experience, and a broad engineering literacy rather than specialization.
The Mechatronics Design Lab arms students with a variety of sensors to sense information, an actuator interface (and actuators) to take action, and multilayered curriculum on everything else in between. This gives students an opportunity to balance their understanding of fundamentals component concepts, with the skills to apply those concepts to system integration. Through a range of fundamentals labs, guided design challenges and open-ended projects, students will gain additional skills related to controls, transmission mechanisms and complex perception systems.
- Understanding distance, motion, environmental, light, force and touch sensors
- Develop skills in making context-dependent design decisions for multi-sensor perception systems
- Apply relevant techniques for sensor data acquisition, processing and sensor-fusion
- Explore the working principles of brushed/brushless DC motors, stepper motors & servos
- Develop skills in functionality and performance based motor selection and datasheet analysis
- Develop knowledge of relevant techniques in control systems and transmission mechanisms
