Mechatronics 1 - MECH40004
Aims
The aim of this module is to introduce Mechatronics as a fundamental concept for modelling and designing machine systems, and to encourage electrical systems to be modelled in a manner compatible with mechanical systems using 'system' concepts; to develop an ability to design, and select components for simple electromechanical systems; to develop mastery of modelling concepts which have direct equivalents in mechanical systems theory, e.g. equivalent characteristics, operating diagrams, complex impedance.

Aims
FCTT has 2 main sub-modules. Thermal Propusion Systems covers design and underlying thermofluid and combustion processes in IC engines, and the need for reduced CO2 and pollutant emissions. Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Systems covers design of hybrid, electric and fuel cell powered vehicles and underlying engineering science, including system design of battery packs and fuel cell systems.
