umm the 1751 intro to mecha is so borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring >.< almost fell asleep today

but i rather enjoy the eng comp they are pretty good solidworks is fun ^^; and matlab is alright, it is easier if u've learned some programming languages cause the structure is rather similar

well thats what i think

yeah, so what is this mechatronics course really abt.??

 

[RZ]

umm what i've learnt is not much >.< but i know its like designing things with control systems and i think, this includes household appliances like cd players and washing machines as well as robotics which include sea cars sky etc.

can't u b a bit more detailed..coz i do understand abt. how its abt. building robots- but i wanna know more specifics than that...like what is involved in the course, how hard is it etc. etc.

 

[RZ]

u can look at what i cant find >.<

anyone have the link to the 1751 intro to mecha lecture notes like the slides?

MX is on integrating mechanical and electrical systems to do certain functions. It's not necessarily robotics, but we do get to work with embedded systems and generally tiny equipment.

And we get a kickass mechatronics lab in the link building

http://pics.voidfx.com/mx/ << Second year mechatronics equipment.

Note the time on the clock? That's AM.

I think I spent 5 days straight in there during stuvac

In case you were wondering, we had to make an ECG... measures heart rates. Had to code it and make electrodes and everything. Way cool.

blehz- i don't like too much circuitry and stuff...maybe i should opt. for aeronautical..hmm...

btw, is it possible to combine mechatronic space wif science?

 

[Wraith]

Yes. It is.

 

[KeypadSDM]

Which is my intended aim by next year:

BE (Mechatronic)(Space) / BSci(Adv Maths.)

Say B E (Mechanical / Mechatronic / Space Engineering)

It looks harder

LoL- what a head.

 

[KeypadSDM]

I could just include words as well instead of the B E part.

Now you're getting the hang of it

yeah...but wraith is just including all that, coz he does a single degree- hence he needs to make it sound like hard.

 

[Wraith]

 

[KeypadSDM]

Yeah, you bludger. Get a real degree. A COMBINED degree.

Actually I'd rather the "pure" degree.

Half the interesting stuff is taken out when you do combined.

no its not...u do all the subjects that a single degree person does u know.
