MREN 103 Mechatronics and Robotics Design I Units: 4.00
This course introduces students to basic engineering design methods and tools that are employed for developing mechatronic and robotic systems. In the first part of the course, a client-based team design project will further develop skills that include communication, teamwork, project management, professionalism and ethics. The nature of the projects will be such that students will be required to reflect on the impact of their work on society and the environment. The second part of the course consists of a series of laboratories followed by a hands-on project that will introduce students to elements of mechatronic and robotic hardware and software. The course encourages a sense of creativity and curiosity about mechatronics and robotics engineering.
