What is MXEN2000 about?

Topics of modelling, experimentation and simulation using problem based learning to solve problems in the context of a mechatronic system. The tasks which students complete in this unit provide opportunities to solve “open”, rather than “closed” problems. The “open” problem of this unit is to develop a model that predicts the time for a simple mechatronic vehicle to ascend an incline. The syllabus requires the student to actively participate and seek out “better” answers. Solving open mechatronic engineering problems and using system principles: hierarchies and abstractions. Problem analysis, design and creation of models and experiments. Reoccuring Modelling concepts: elements and governing equations. Engineering Communications. Experiment theory and design to determine stall torque and torque-speed characteristics of a DC motor including applications of Newton’s Laws to dynamic systems. Applications of electromagnetics and efficiency concepts. Use of computer tools Excel and Simulink for modelling and analysis. System response: concepts of transient and steady state behaviour. Results anaylsis.
