Course Description:
This course provides students with the tools required to design, model, analyze and control mechatronic systems
i.e. smart systems comprising electronic, mechanical, fluid and thermal components. The techniques for modelling
various system components will be studied in a unified approach developing tools for the simulation of theperformance of these systems. Analysis will also be made of the various components needed to design and control
mechatronic systems including sensing, actuating, and I/O interfacing components.
Major Topics:
Introduction to mechatronics
Sensors and actuators
System modeling
Smart systems
I/O interfacing components in mechatronic systems
System Analysis

Course Organization and Delivery Mode:
This one-semester course will be delivered by a combination of web-centric supported classroom lectures using
Blackboard, laboratory project work, and tutorials (3 hours of lectures weekly, 2 hours of labs weekly, and 1 hour of
tutorials weekly).
Lectures are designed to ensure that students understand the concepts of mechatronics. Attendance in the lectures
is STRONGLY encouraged.
This course will feature a project-based, hands-on approach to learning how to design, build, and contro
mechatronic systems. In order to learn and understand how to create and control mechatronic systems, students
must work with mechatronic systems and their components and software. As such, this course is designed with a
heavy emphasis on project work. The five miniprojects will provide exposure to mechatronic systems along with
software used in their design and control. Laboratory time will be used to provide an opportunity for students to work
on the miniprojects. This is the ONLY time that access will be provided to the hardware associated with the
mini-projects, therefore, you must make the most of the time allotted. Attendance in your weekly laboratory time slot
is MANDATORY. In order to successfully complete the mini-projects you will be expected to put in a significant
amount of work on the mini-projects OUTSIDE of your lab time including completing a set of pre-projec
requirements for each mini-project.
The tutorial time will be open sessions for students to work on their design projects using LEGO Mindstorms and to
ask the TAs questions regarding the projects. This is the ONLY time that access will be provided to the facilities to
test your projects, therefore, you must make the most of the time allotted. In order to successfully complete the
design projects you will be expected to put in a significant amount of work on the projects OUTSIDE of your tutorial

Computer Experience:
Availability and proficiency in using laptop/desktop computers and the use of WebCT is assumed.
In addition, it is assumed that students are familiar with the use of MATLAB, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Office, UGS
NX, and other programs that they have used throughout their course of study. Students will use LabVIEW along with
CodeWarrior extensively in this course. In addition, students will use NQC (Not Quite C) to program their Lego
Mindstorms.
Medical Certif icates and Deferred Exams:
Medical certificates MUSTbe sent DIRECTLY from the Doctor's Office or Hospital within five (5) days by mail or
preferably by fax to the Academic Advisor of FEAS (Fax: 905.721.3370, Attn: Academic Advising Team).
The approved deferrals will be either written or oral at the discretion of the instructor.
Should the medical certificate proven to be invalid due to any kind of action by the student, such student's behaviou
will be considered as a major misconduct and respective disciplinary actions will be commenced.
Failure to comply with the above will result in an mark of 0 for the exam.
Accessib il ity:
Students with disabilities may request to be considered for formal academic accommodation in accordance with theOntario Human Rights Code. Students seeking accommodation must make their requests through the Centre fo
Students with Disabilities in a timely manner, and provide relevant and recent documentation to verify the effect of
their disability and to allow the University to determine appropriate accommodations.
Accommodation decisions will be made in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodations wil
be consistent with and supportive of the essential requirements of courses and programs, and provided in a way
that respects the dignity of students with disabilities and encourages integration and equality of opportunity
Reasonable academic accommodation may require instructors to exercise creativity and flexibility in responding to
the needs of students with disabilities while maintaining academic integrity.
Academic Integr ity and Conduct:
Students and faculty at UOIT share an important responsibility to maintain the integrity of the teaching and learning
relationship. This relationship is characterized by honesty, fairness and mutual respect for the aim and principles of
the pursuit of education. Academic misconduct impedes the activities of the university community and is punishable
by appropriate disciplinary action.
Students are expected to be familiar with UOIT's regulations on Academic Conduct (Section 5.15 of the Academic

Calendar) which sets out the kinds of actions that constitute academic misconduct, including plagiarism, copying or
allowing one's own work to copied, use of unauthorized aids in examinations and tests, submitting work prepared in
collaboration with another student when such collaboration has not been authorized, and other academic offences
The regulations also describe the procedures for dealing with allegations, and the sanctions for any finding of
academic misconduct, which can range from a written reprimand to permanent expulsion from the university. A lack
of familiarity with UOIT's regulations on academic conduct does not constitute a defense against its application.
Further information about academic misconduct can be found in the Academic Integrity link on your laptop.
Turnitin:
UOIT and faculty members reserve the right to use electronic means to detect and help prevent plagiarism
Students agree that by taking this course all assignments are subject to submission for textual similarity review by
Turnitin.com. Assignments submitted to Turnitin.com will be included as source documents in Turnitin.com's
restricted access database solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism in such documents for five academic
years. The instructor may require students to submit their assignments electronically to Turnitin.com or the instructo
may submit questionable text on behalf of a student. The terms that apply to UOIT's use of the Turnitin.com serviceare described on the Turnitin.com website.
Students who do not wish to have their work submitted to Turnitin.com must provide with their assignment at the
time of submission to the instructor a signed Turnitin.com Assignment Cover sheet:

Further information about Turnitin can be found on the Academic Integrity link on your laptop.
Freedom of Information and Protection of Information Act:
The following is an important notice regarding the process for submitting course assignments, quizzes and other
evaluative material in your courses.
As you may know, UOIT is governed by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Information Act (FIPPA). In
addition to providing a mechanism for requesting records held by the university, this legislation also requires tha
UOIT not disclose the personal information of its students without their consent.
FIPPAs definition of personal information includes, among other things, documents that contain both your nameand your Banner ID. For example, this could include graded test papers or assignments. To ensure that your rights
to privacy are protected, UOIT encourages you to use only your Banner ID on assignments or test papers being
submitted for grading. This policy is intended to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of your information where graded
papers are returned to groups of students at the same time. If you still wish to write both your name and your
Banner ID on your tests and assignments, please be advised that UOIT will interpret this as an implied consent to
the disclosure of your personal information in the normal course of returning graded materials to students.
If you have any questions or concerns relating to the new policy or the issue of implied consent addressed above
