MECH 480 - Mechatronics Capstone Seminar

Credit Hours: 3
Lecture Hours: 3
Laboratory Hours: 0

Prerequisite(s): MECH 410

Restriction(s): None

Corequisite(s): None

This course is a senior capstone project, focused on any electro/mechanical discipline taught thus far in the mechatronics major. The final project will include written specifications consisting of: project proposal, literature review and milestone identification, working drawings, parts list, and a prototype of said proposal. The culmination of all the aforementioned criteria will be an oral presentation of the completed project.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course:

Students will integrate various aspects from curriculum taught within the mechatronics program and develop a project based on an automated function used to improve or expedite and existing process currently used in society or manufacturing.
Students will gain experience in meeting projected timeline schedules for project proposal, literature review, and progress reports.
Students will develop working drawings, justify parts list, and make a prototype of their project proposal.
Students will develop and give an oral presentation of their completed project proposal
