Thank you to The Oakland Post for the great summary of the OU Board of Trustees meeting earlier today and the write-up on the now official new BSE Program in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering, starting this Fall 2024 semester. "Bachelor of Science in Engineering Degree in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering  The field of mechatronics and robotics is experiencing exponential growth and will continue to reshape various industries. Other colleges around Michigan including Michigan Tech, LTU and the University of Michigan already have a Robotics Engineering program. OU has been offering a Master of Science in Mechatronics for around 16 years already. The program will provide career options in various fields such as manufacturing, allowing students to find work in the Metro Detroit area. The proposed program has been in the works for over two years as a collaboration among all SECS departments. In terms of budget, the majority of resources are already available, including faculty and courses. “We ended up creating this program, which is honestly an umbrella. It’s not like other individual programs, we saw that this is sustainable. We created it in a way where we can add things as we go along and have additional tracks. I want to highlight that this research has been happening for the last 15-20 years. We only need two more classes,” Osamah Rawashdeh, professor and chair of electrical and computer engineering, said. Students can choose to concentrate in a specific subject area of the field to further improve professional development and gain a title on their transcript. The optional major-dependent concentrations include Automotive Mechatronic Systems, Autonomous Vehicles, Human-Robot Interaction and more. This new degree addition hopes to enhance research opportunities and industry collaborations by furthering developments in faculty expertise and helping OU’s reputation in the field of robotics."

I am happy to have recently finished my first 3rd year semester at the University of Canterbury. This is the first (Academic) part of a two post writeup about my semester as a Mechatronics student. After an insightful summer internship with OMV in Taranaki (thanks to Venture Taranaki Trust and EnergySkills), I went back to throw myself into more study and adventure. I had 4 courses to complete: ENCE361 (Embedded Systems 1), ENME303 (Controls and Vibrations), ENMT301 (Mechatronics Design 2) and ENME202 (Stress and Strain). I got together with a friend, and together in ENCE361 we learned about the Texas Instruments TIVA TM4C123GH6PM Cortex-M4 microcontroller. We first did labs including Interrupts. Ever wondered if a section of code could be given (via hardware) the priority to do its task first when another peice of code is running? The lecturer said to not worry about the test, he was right. The exam involved some computer architecture, so it demanded a lot of memorization but it was sweet. The greatest part of ENCE361 was to complete the helicopter project. Where we would use Kernels, Quadrature Decoding, Switch Debouncing, ADCs, Clean Code/GIT and much more. Our helicopter rose and changed direction with PID control. ENME303 was a great course, despite its challenge, making the concept of stability in an electrical or mechanical system make a lot more sense. Using my knowledge of the Leplace domain from EMTH210, and my knowledge of equations of motion from ENME203, I solved Transfer Functions and outputs from Step, Ramp and Impulse inputs. But also from there, block diagrams to explain system mapping visually, how to get the design region of rise time, settling time and overshoot and how to determine stable PID controls regions in math using Routh Tables. The first test was tough on us all but that didn't stop my curiosity to learn. Over the holidays these were practiced on a cart system and compared with reality. From there in the second term we went straight into Root Locus determining which poles (or roots to the bottom of the transfer function) could make something vibrate. Finally, Bode Plots would determine which frequencies could potentially generate a response of increasing intensity. With the homework done, the exam went smoothly. ENMT301 is a Mechatronics design course which covers many skills and thinking that are necessary for tron engineers. First in design tools like Context diagrams and Fault Trees, but also in Life Cycle Analysis which not enough people really know about. We learned MATLAB Coding Simulink, which relates to ENME303. We even made an aluminum structure which didn't break and a driveshaft system. Then in term 2 we covered Signals and Sensors. Which was about many types of Fourier Transform (an intriguing algorithm which separates different frequencies in a signal) and how it is used in filters, Lidar and more.

At the IUS Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (FENS), education emphasizes the integration of theory and practice. Numerous factors contribute to the realization that traditional methods of education, particularly in engineering, are no longer optimal. These include social media distractions, diminishing student concentration, evolving trends and technologies, and the abundance of educational resources. Recognizing this, FENS and IUS have adapted their course delivery to align with learning outcomes while accommodating changes in student cognition and emerging trends. #engineering #electronicsandelectricalengineering #mechanicalengineering #robotics #practicalapplication https://lnkd.in/dr_QVbAW
