Mechatronics
B Shirinzadeh and D R Blackman
4 points * 22 lectures, 6 tutorial hours, 12 laboratory hours * Second semester * Clayton
Objectives The subject is intended to provide the fundamental concepts in the field of mechatronics. The student is expected to acquire the knowledge and understanding of the basic theory for development and integration of mechatronic systems, together with applications of mechanical/electronic/software (MES) engineering in practical situations.
