Eligibility
General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Specific entry requirements
The same as for the programme that owns the course.Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Course specific prerequisites
Knowledge from the courses in Mechanics, Engineering Measurements, Electric circuits and electric power and Sustainable products and production systems.
Aim
The aim of the course is to provide an understanding of system design, where mechanics, electronics and computer technology interact. Emphasis is placed on the ability to design systems where various components are combined to meet a specification. These insights can be used to improve and develop systems or products with new functionality and to improved performance. The course also provides an understanding of how theoretical models including mechanics, electric circuit theory and physics can be combined to understand the function of a technical system and to size its parts.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Apply a systematic system design method and create a documentation including specifications, drawings, component, and a description of how the parts interact.- Setting up a specification in a structured way.
- Find a solution for the system implementation, which fit its purpose.
- Design and select machine parts, electric drives, actuators and sensors with regard to the functional criteria.
- Use mathematical modelling to model the system, in the form of static models and models of simple dynamics, to verify the system design.
- Be able to describe the control system's task in form of description of how users can influence the system and how the sensors are used for feedback control.
- Describe and motivate a technical design orally and in writing.
Content
The course consists of lectures and a design project with assignments and a final report, as well as voluntary tasks increasing the possibility of getting a higher grade. The lectures will step by step go through a method to design, analyse and verify system and they present the methods needed for the design project.The design project is done in groups and its purpose is that the participants shall test to design a system based on specifications. The results of the project are presented and discussed in groups during scheduled supervision times. All participants are expected to attend during supervision.
There is also a design review and a final presentation in which the developed system is explained and the design decisions motivated.
Organisation
The course includes about 13 lectures and approximately 14 tutorials for the design task, and one presentation (design review) mid-course and one at the end.
Literature
A course book is not yet determined. Meanwhile course material is distributed through the course platform (Ping Pong).
