Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Argue to and persuade clients, colleagues, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
  • Imagine, design, carry out and operate mechatronic systems and automated mechanical units to provide a solution to a complex problem by integrating needs, constraints, context and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
    • On the basis of modelling, design mechatronic systems or automated mechanical units, based on state of the art, a study or model, addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
    • Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a diagram or a plan that complies with standards, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
    • In an informed manner, integrate components from different technologies.
  • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out mechanical engineering missions, with a focus on mechatronics, using their expertise and adaptability.
    • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to the mechanics of solids and fluids, energy exchanges, dynamic and vibratory behaviour of systems, manufacturing and mechanical production, the management of mechatronic systems: dynamic modelling, control, instrumentation, and hardware and software operation and implementation.
    • Study a mechatronic system or an automated mechanical unit by critically selecting theories, models and methodological approaches, and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
    • Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of mechatronics.
  • Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Argue to and persuade clients, colleagues, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Understand the capture, the conditioning and the (analog and/or digital) transmission of mechanical measurements (position, velocity, acceleration and force), expected to be processed by a numerical calculator, in the context of controlled mechanical systems (robotics, mechatronics,...).

Content of UE

Sensors for position, velocity, acceleration and force measurement: physical principle, electro-mechanical conversion, bandwidth, accuracy.
Signal conditioning: amplification, filtering, protection wrt perturbations, background noise.
Analogue to digital conversion: usual converters, sample and hold, multiplexing.
Analogue transmission: transmission modes (voltage, current) and disturbances.
Intelligent sensors.
Digital transmission: serial and parallel communication, buses (USB, SPI, I2C,...) and networks, field buses/networks (Profibus, CAN,...), sensor networks (internet of things).

Prior Experience

Fundamentals of electrical and electronic circuits. Metrology.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

  • Presentation and/or works
  • Oral examination

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

For the learning activity I-MRDV-051 "Sensors: ...", the assessment is based on the laboratory reports (10% of the mark) and the oral examination (90% of the mark). During the oral examination (maximal duration of 4 hours), the students are expected to apply the material addressed during the lessons and workshops, in the case of a practical example. The students may consult their course notes during 30 minutes to prepare their answer.
For the learning activity I-MRDV-052 " Sensor network ", the assessment will be detailed in the first lessons. In particular, the evaluation procedure includes a "continuous evaluation" part. This part therefore requires an "active participation" of the student, including a minimum participation rate (fixed to 80%).
