Course description and aims
The concept of mechanical engineering is essential in order to realize mechano-systems. To design actual systems, in addition to mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and mechanical vibrations, control technologies and electronics technologies are required. In this course, it is required to learn them not individually but comprehensively. As typical mechano-systems, the targets are robots, transportation machines (particularly, automobiles), fluid machinery, and industrial machinery (particularly, machine tools), etc.
As a mechanical design course, this course aims at building foundations of mechanical engineering and its application to design mechano-systems reasonably understanding their functions and structures.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Describe functions and structures of typical mechano-systems including actuators, sensors, motion mechanisms, motion control systems and industrial machinery.
2) Design mechano-systems systematically.
3) Describe fundamental knowledge, processes and methods to realize mechano-systems.
4) Utilize various methodologies of mechanical engineering significant to realize mechano-systems.
Keywords
