The course is built upon a deeper individual study of a mechatronic problem or subtopic of particular interest. Partly through seminars, but mainly by individual search, the necessary knowledge is acquired to enlighten, answer and discuss the selected problem area.
Parts of the course is performed in groups of 2-3 students whereas other parts are done individually.
In addition to the written and oral presentation of the work performed, the course also includes critical opposition and discussion of other peoples work.
After a completed course, the students should be able to:
- Use independent methods of study to deepen individual knowledge;
- Present the developed work in a written report as well as in web-based format, in both cases with demands content, structure and language;
- Give an oral presentation of the performed work as well as opposing on other peoples work in front of a larger auditorium
- Formulate a mechatronic design or analysis problem of limited complexity and search for solutions by the use of modelling, simulation and computer based tools;
- Develop/design/select a component or subsystem and verify the characteristics of the solution by using e.g. simulation;
