A mechatronics project for designing a 3D printer prototype is discussed. The project work is part of a senior students' project class and is used as a case study to highlight the success of developing a fully-integrated engineering system that incorporates a mechanical plant, electronics, drivers, embedded controllers, and software interface. The project objective is to realize a 3D printer prototype...
The development and implementation of a Research Methodology course for a Masters' program in mechatronics engineering is provided. The course was developed during the TEMPUS-JIML project, that involved a consortium of eight international universities, and the course was implemented at Philadelphia University in Jordan. The course material was divided into five parts: Literature review, thesis proposal,...
This paper describes the procedure followed to implement a double-degree master program in mechatronics engineering between Jordanian and European universities. Initially, a study of world-wide master curricula was carried out, followed by a survey of Jordanian industry and academia. This helped clarify the structure and content of the desired master program, such that it addressed the needs of the...
Elevator systems offer ideal platforms for Mechatronics engineering education. Particularly, they offer an excellent opportunity for integrating the various mechatronics engineering disciplines, such as: electrical motors and actuators, power electronics and drives, control systems, system dynamics and kinematicsAlthough elevator systems have been used as learning platforms in engineeringeducation,...
Faculty for Factory (FFF) program is a national Jordanian program that was started in 2003 with the purpose of strengthening applied scientific research cooperation between the universities and the industry. A significant result of the program was the development of a dynamic network composed of industrialists and university professors. In this paper, the FFF methodology and its role in helping bridge...
Mechatronics engineering curricula emphasize the importance of integrated engineering systems. Since mechatronics systems include subsystems (electronic, mechanical, and computer), multi-level system analysis skills are essential for mechatronics engineers. Reverse Engineering (RE) can play an important role in the analysis and understanding of mechatronics systems and products. RE can be defined...
A major focus of mechatronic engineering education is on the design and analysis of integrated engineering systems. Therefore, it is importance to develop a well-structured mechatronic system design course for undergraduate engineering students. This course can be considered as a capstone course that integrates vast amount of knowledge and skills acquired by students throughout their education. This...
Mechatronics engineering can be defined as the analysis, design, and integration of mechanics with electronics through intelligent controllers. This engineering branch has gained much attention in recent years because of the fast development of integrated engineering applications in the industry. As the requirements for real-time, fast, and accurate controllers increased, the use of Digital Signal...
