Learning outcome
Knowledge
- The candidate is able to explain and elaborate on the design of mechatronic and robotic systems.
- The candidate is able to compare, analyse and evaluate theory and methods presented in the course.
Skills
- The candidate is able to design, build and test simple mechatronic systems, including software, control systems, sensors and actuators, communication protocols, and hardware.
- The candidate is able to demonstrate the use of robotic control systems for programming an industrial robot for a selected application.
General competence
- The candidate is able to explain when mechatronic systems are suitable for solving challenges in automation engineering, product development, or other application areas.
- The candidate is able to explain the role of robotics in an Industry 4.0 setting.
- The candidate is able to apply design and engineering principles for mechatronic and robotic systems subjected to real world environments.
- The candidate is able to apply mechatronic problem-solving to unstructured problems.
- The candidate is able to contribute as part of a team.
Learning methods and activities
Learning activities generally include a mix of lectures, tutorials and practical lab/project work. A constructivist approach for learning is endorsed, with focus on problem solving and practical application of theory.
Further on evaluation
The final grade is based on an overall evaluation of the portfolio, which consists of a number of works delivered through the semester. The portfolio contains assignments that are carried out, digitally documented and submitted during the term. Both individual and team assignments may be given. Assignments are designed to help students achieve specific course learning outcomes, and formative feedback is given during the period of the portfolio. The re-sit exam is an oral exam.
