Course Description
Course Profile
Designing mechatronic products requires a dedicated approach, including interdisciplinary design, market-related constraints, multifunctionality, user-friendly operation and minimization of the cost of the whole product operation period. Thus, designers who create mechatronic products should possess comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge, the ability to co-operate in an interdisciplinary designing team, and team management skills of how to use the up-to-date tools of computer-aided engineering. Additionally, they should know how to schedule and carry out the prototyping of mechatronic systems.
Mechatronic Design is based on a project-oriented type of study, including cooperation in project teams. Such an approach leads to a better understanding of the specific nature of the mechatronic design process and to learn techniques of how to solve interdisciplinary design problems. The study program consists of courses on the design of mechanical, electronic and control systems and techniques of software and hardware application. During the classes, students learn how to use dedicated software tools as well as testing equipment in the process of designing and prototyping of complex mechatronic systems.
The speciality courses concern problems of embedded systems designing and microsystems (MEMS).
