436-452 Mechatronics Project

Upon completion, students should have gained experience in applying their knowledge in the disciplines of mechatronics to a real engineering investigative problem, working collaboratively, collating background data beyond the scope of coursework, making engineering decisions, and reporting the results of their investigations. The subject involves undertaking a major project requiring an independent investigation and the preparation of a report on an approved advanced topic in mechatronics. The project may be jointly supervised in any of the Departments of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Computer Science.

Work during the project (40%); oral presentations (15%) and a written engineering report of no more than 8000 words with no more than 40 pages of supporting material in the way of appendices, diagrams, tables, computations and computer output (45%).
