Objectives

At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts):

-       Requirements and functional analysis of a systems

-       Preliminary design and multi-domain modelling of a mechatronic system

Needed prerequisite

- Basics of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics (stationary), electricity and electronics.

- Basics of technology and plan reading.

Form of assessment

The evaluation of outcome prior learning is made as a continuous training during the semester. According ot the teaching, the assessment will be different: as a written exam, an oral exam, a record, a written report, peers review...
