Mechatronics Design

ME102B provides students with an opportunity to integrate mechanical and electrical systems to create “smart” mechatronics devices. Over the course, students become familiar with event-driven programming, common machine elements like gears, and electromechanical actuators with drive electronics. The course culminates in an Inventor’s Open House where students demonstrate their projects. This page highlights these projects.

 

2020 Fall Semester

This semester, the class and showcase were conducted remotely / virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The teaching team included Prof. Stuart, Prof. Kazeooni and GSI Joseph Skelley. The majority of this class consisted of lab assignments using a home lab kit. This MicroKit is a newly developed tool, featured on the front page of the first ever ME Dept. Newsletter.

Then, the mini-project was conducted over the last 3 weeks of class. The students chose to either produce a rough mechatronics product at home (PDF + video) or produce a more detailed mechanical design in CAD (PDF only). These projects are a part of the Jacobs Winter Design Showcase. The Jacob’s staff would like you to be able to connect with the students: “Help provide student feedback and nominate your favorite projects for our Student Projects page, using our feedback form – all are welcome to submit!” This form is a great way to celebrate the wonderful achievements of the students and let them know if you were impressed with their work. Students are also encouraged to apply for the Jacobs Institute Innovation Catalysts program to get a “Spark” or “Ignite” grant to continue working on their ideas!
