Automation design project

This unit extends the level of complexity of automation/mechatronic designs by integrating and applying knowledge that you have developed throughout the course of your degree. This unit provides you with the opportunity to learn project planning, communication skills and teamwork to complete an integrated design project (IDP). It will include the use and appreciation of the evolution of mechatronic technologies, design tools and methodologies, concurrent engineering design support tools, mechatronics design process, requirement interpretation and design optimisation. Societal, health, safety legal and cultural aspects will also be considered where appropriate.
