Mechatronic Systems Engineering 4499 - Mechatronic Design Project
The aim of the course is to develop and practice the interdisciplinary skills required to solve open-ended engineering design problems from a mechatronics perspective. Students will experience all phases of the design process, including: problem definition, generation and evaluation of concepts, engineering analysis and testing, and preparation of design documentation. Project management and communications skills will also be emphasized. A faculty advisor will supervise project teams and an interdisciplinary committee comprised of Mechatronics program faculty members will assess project outcomes.
Antirequisite(s): CBE 4497, the former MME 4419, CEE 4441, GPE 4497, SE 4450, MME 4499, ECE 4416, ES 4499.
Prerequisite(s): Completion of third year of the Mechatronic Systems Engineering program.
Corequisite(s):
Pre-or Corequisite(s):
Extra Information: 6 laboratory/project hours, 1.0 course.
Restricted to students enrolled in the Mechatronic Systems Engineering program.
