Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student
1) can recognise mechatronic machines and analyse the fundamental functions of mechatronic machines: sensing, actuation, and control (should be already achieved and pre-exam is to check it).
2) can analyse the prevailing physics in common mechatronic machines including rigid-body mechanical systems, basic electrical systems, power transmission, and control.
3) can design and realise control systems for mechatronic machines.
4) can work in a team carrying out design and numerical simulations of a mechatronic machine.
5) can evaluate scientific publications on a selected mechatronic system
6) can report and present functionalities of the selected mechatronic machine.

Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Preliminary exam: pass/fail
1) Grade from lecture quiz: weight 20 %
2) Grade from exercises including lab exercises: weight 50 %
3) Grade from project work: weight 30 %
To pass the course: a) pass the preliminary exam, and b) collect min 50 % of the points in 1, 2, and 3.
The final grade is the sum of the points collected in 1, 2, and 3 (the points are scaled according to the weights given above)
