Project Course Advanced - Mechatronics

Aim

This course is aimed at applying skills from previous courses in machine design with special focus on fluid power systems and mechatronics in a product development project. After the course the student should

• Be able to use and follow a project model
• Be able to apply and systematically integrate the knowledge acquired during the studies and if necessary produce new knowledge to run a mechatronic/fluid mechanical engineering projects.
• Be able to create, analyze and evaluate technical solutions.
• Be able to professionally express themselves in writing and orally.
• Be able to actively contribute to a well-functioning project.
• Be able to indentify activities to fulfill project goals.
• Have experience of working in a group with mechatronic/fluid mechanics

Content

The course consists of a current project of an appropriate scale that is taken from the industry or the academy. The project is conducted then by the students in collaboration with the client and includes different phases of product development, from problem definition, requirements specification, modeling and also end of construction. The project concludes with a written report and oral presentations at the University.
