Course description and aims

This course focuses the fundamentals on the design processes of systems. Students design and make the remote controlled machine which will be used to solve the given subject. The subject is given in the first class, and the presentations on the concept of the machine are made by students in the 4th class. The contest of the machines made by students is held as the final presentation in the last class.

In order to create the useful systems, we need to optimize the functions of the system under the limitations on safety, efficiency, cost, and productivity. This laboratory course, in which students make the machines under the given rule with limited materials, enables students to understand and acquire the fundamentals of design processes of systems widely applicable to create the actual systems.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the basic processes of design.
2) Make the simple remote controlled machine.
3) Make the presentation on their design.
4) Explain the fundamental properties of electronic motors and pneumatic actuators.

Keywords

design of system, remote controlled machine, machining tool, contest, actuator

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

The subject is given in the 1st class. The technical training of machining tools, presentation of the concepts of the machines, and classes for designing and making the machine are conducted after the 2nd class. Finally the contest will be held as a final presentation.
