Abstract
Abstract
Mechatronics is a practical engineering branch where the final product should involve mechanical movements controlled by smart electronics. The design and implementation of functional prototypes are an essential learning experience for the students. In this paper, the guidelines for a successful mechatronics project class is presented and discussed. Furthermore, the paper introduces a general mechatronics system design methodology that should lead the students to a successful mechatronics project in their undergraduate stage. Focus is also given to four student projects at Philadelphia University describing the goal, the design, and the implementation stages.
Keywords: Design Methodology, Course Structure, Mechatronics Student Projects
