Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):

This course is meant as a final preparation of the students to experimental laboratory projects, by informing them about all projects in the lab. for micro-engineering. All available measuring systems and software for calculations, modelling, simulations and data handling are presented.

Computer use:

Laboratory project(s):

The course deals with the question how to design with a mechatronic approach and how to use modelling and simulations as a design tool.

Percentage of design: 50%
