Ch 30Final Exam

ECE 5850 14

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA:

All exams will be open book and open notes. However, any notes must be in your own handwriting and may not be duplicated copies of someone else’s notes. Students must bring their own No. 2 pencil to the exam. Furthermore, students may NOT share books or calculators during the examinations.

ECE 5850 15

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA:

Cell phones are not allowed during exams. If I observe you with a cell phone, I will neither confiscate it nor tell you to put it away. Instead, I will document its existence, mark your exam as a failure when I grade it, and refer you to Office of Student Judicial Affairs.

ECE 5850 16

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA:

Exam 1. The first exam will be given on Wednesday, February 6. There will be a review for Exam 1 on Monday, February 4. The first exam will concentrate upon the material from chapters 1 through 8 plus chapter 29. This exam will account for 20% of the grade.

ECE 5850 17

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA:

Final Exam. The final exam will be held on ??, from 10:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. The final exam will be comprehensive, covering all materials that were covered for the entire semester. The final exam will account for 30% of the grade.

ECE 5850 18

Make-up Examinations

If you feel that you have a valid reason to miss an examination, you must validate that reason with appropriate documentation from your doctor, the police, or the funeral home. The make-up examination WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT than the original examination.

ECE 5850 19

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA:

Participation: We will be using the i>clicker2 in this course so that I can monitor understanding. You must register and use your i>clicker2 for this course in order to be credited with participation. Course participation will account for 5% of the grade.

Buying an i>clicker2 remote In this class, you will be required to

purchase an i>clicker2 remote i>clicker2 is available in the bookstore.

– ISBN 1429280476– If you already have a clicker, a rebate may be

available when you upgrade to i>clicker2 You will be expected to bring the remote to

class every day.– Points will be assigned for i>clicker

participation– Please see syllabus for specific policies

ECE 5850 20

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WEB REGISTRATION of i>clickers You must have come to class at least once

and voted on at least one question in order to complete the registration .

Once you have voted on a question in my class, go to http://www.iclicker.com/registration.

Complete the fields with your first name, last name, WIN ID, and remote ID. – The remote ID is the series of numbers and

sometimes letters found on the bottom of the back of your i>clicker2 remote.

ECE 5850 23

Performance Criteria: Term Project: Each student is required

to develop a mechatronic system as a term project. A one-page abstract describing the system is due on Wednesday, January 16.

The analysis for the topics covered by the mid-term exam are to be turned in on the day of the mid-term exam, along with the exam. Students will be evaluated using the rubric in the class syllabus.

ECE 5850 24

Performance Criteria: The final project, including a paper describing

the project, the source code, and the executable code is due on ??, at the time the final exam is turned in. In addition to the topic analyses, the paper should include an Introduction (citing the relevant background), a discussion of the Results, a discussion of your Conclusions, and a Bibliography. The grading rubric for the final project is included in the course syllabus. The term project will account for 40% of the grade.

Introduction to Mechatronics and Rapid PrototypingChapters 1 & 29

ECE 5850Mechatronics

Mechatronics

The synergistic integration of fine mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design of products and manufacturing processes.

- Dinsdale, J., and Yamazaki, K (1989)

ECE 5850 26

Why Make Prototypes?

The first iteration usually has significant flaws and oversights

The designer needs to learn from this in order to make the second iteration

As iterations continue, changes between iterations become less substantial and the iteration becomes closer to the final product

ECE 5850 27

Build or Simulate?

The choice depends upon the circumstances of the project

For early iterations of a project, often simulations will reveal design flaws with less outlay of time and money

Soldering

Make sure you read and pay attention to the tips that Carryergives in section 29.5.4

Engineers often assume that soldering is easy and requires no training

This is not the case – many projects fail for the lack of good solder joints!

ECE 5850 48

Suppliers and Resources

I have personally dealt with most of the suppliers listed in section 29.6

They are all good, reliable, and not overly expensive
