Mechatronics Project Start - 2

This document outlines the details of a mechatronics project course including course personnel, lectures, project requirements, assessment criteria, schedule, potential project topics, and a home assignment. The course involves students working in teams of 3-5 people on a mechatronics research or design project. Students will present their work at a circus event and conference in April and submit documentation of their process and outcomes. The goal is for students to gain experience with multidisciplinary teamwork and the mechatronics design process.
