The aim of the course is to develop and practice the interdisciplinary skills required to solve open-ended engineering design problems from a mechatronics perspective. Students will experience all phases of the design process, including: problem definition, generation and evaluation of concepts, engineering analysis and testing, and preparation of design documentation. Project management and communications skills will also be emphasized. A faculty advisor will supervise project teams and an interdisciplinary committee comprised of Mechatronics program faculty members will assess project outcomes.
