Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Interweaves mechanisms, electronics, sensors, and control strategies with software and information technology to examine the demands and ideas of customers and find the most efficient, cost-effective method to transform their goals into successful commercial products. Most of the term is devoted to a significant design project in which student groups work independently and competitively, applying the design process to a project goal set by the faculty co-ordinator. Students with credit for ENSC 384 may not take MSE 312 for further credit.

COURSE DETAILS:

Students will learn to

  • Effectively design, plan and manage a group project.
  • Design a mechanical system
  • Design and construct a basic power drive, interface electronics, and electrical system for a mechatronics application
  • Understand and build a feedback control system
  • Integrate mechanical, electrical, and controls knowledge to solve a design problem.
Students will be working in teams, with all team members enrolled in the same Lab session.

Grading

  • Mechanical Section 20%
  • Electronics and Control Section 40%
  • Whole system integration 40%

NOTES:

Teams of 4-5 members are preferred.  Teams will be formed officially after enrollment, but all prospective memebers of a team will need to be in the same lab section, as free use of the lab space is reserved until near the end of the the project.  Consider the variety of tasks mentioned and consider if your prospective team members skill sets and previous experience match the tasks mentioned.

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
