Description
|
This 10 credit module involves the design, construction and reporting of a mechatronics project which will typically involve the following elements: 1. Visual interface. e.g. computer screen, lcd readout, control panel with indicator lights 2. Data acquisition. i.e. measurement using appropriate sensors with conversion of signals where necessary from analog to digital and vice versa. 3. Control. The project should be capable of maintaining a measured property within defined limits and be able to cope with small disturbances. Alternatively there could be decision-making based on machine vision or counting/sorting functions. Switching something on and off is not sufficient. |
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Design a system typically incorporating a visual interface, data acquisition and control to meet a defined aim
2.
Demonstrate the application of theory covered in Level 7 in the design of hardware for the project. Students are encouraged to use 3-D printing technology either in prototyping or the manufacture of final components.
3.
Research and select components/software/control methods
4.
Assess the potential safety hazards associated with the project and complete the corresponding risk assessment form.
5.
Demonstrate the ability to plan and manage the project (inc.budget and time)
6.
Build and test a system typically incorporating a visual interface, data acquisition and control to meet a defined aim
7.
Evaluate the project and made recommendations as appropriate
8.
Effectively communicate the project concept, project plan and design via areport, presentation and interview
