Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge about model-based design of a mechatronic system
• Have knowledge about how the control design is a central and integrated part of the development process for a mechatronic system
• Have knowledge about scientific methods and theories compared to the semester theme

Skills

• Be able to conduct synthesis and design of (fundamental) mechatronic systems and components and asses the applicability of different solution concepts
• Be able to analyse the interactions and limitations of different technologies in the design process
• Have acquired experience with experimental work supporting the design of a mechatronic system
• Be able to analyse and assess obtained results from simulations and experiments

Competences

• Be able to handle complex and development-oriented situations related to studies and work within the energy technical area, with special emphasis on mechatronic systems
• Have acquired the ability to professionally enter into interdisciplinary collaboration in the area of energy technology
• Be able to identify own learning needs and structure learning in different environments in energy engineering
• Be able to transform academic knowledge and skills in design of mechatronic systems to a practical problem and process the problem

Type of instruction

Problem based and project oriented work in project groups. Teaching is in English and/or Danish depending on the participation of international students, or if the lecturer is of foreign origin.

Extent and expected workload

Since it is a 15 ECTS project work, the work load is expected to be 450 hours for the student.
