MREN 203 Mechatronics and Robotics Design II Units: 4.00
In this course, students will apply their growing technical knowledge of mechatronics and robotics, and the engineering design process, to solve an open-ended design problem. Working in teams, students will be provided with a kit of components from which they are required to design, build and test a mechatronics or robotics device that performs a certain task. The problem will be posed as an internal design competition. Prototyping and
alternate design methodologies are presented to iteratively execute, evaluate and correct designs in an efficient way. Working prototypes are to be demonstrated before an audience at the end of the term. Teams will demonstrate advanced communication skills by documenting the design process and their project management. Elements of professionalism and ethics are addressed.
