MTRX3760: Mechatronic Systems Design
This unit of study follows a systems engineering approach to the integration of hardware and software components to form mechatronic systems. Sensors: dead reckoning and inertial sensors; external sensors including ultrasonic, laser, radar and GPS; sensor interfaces, serialisation and data streams. Methodologies for object-oriented design; the C++ language: classes and class design; overloading; inheritance and polymorphism; iostreams. Operating system: introduction to structure and principles; facilities for interprocess communication and synchronisation; device drivers and applications programming; Gnu software tools; make and related utilities; communications middleware for distributed software. Students will complete a six-week project working in groups to design and implement a distributed mechatronic system.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. design, plan for, and execute a significant software project in a team
- LO2. design and implement object-oriented software in C++
- LO3. partition a software design into classes and applications modules
- LO4. document a software design using modelling tools
- LO5. develop the capacity to think creatively and independently about new design problems
- LO6. understand in detail the operating principals and interfaces of serially-attached sensors
- LO7. demonstrate a detailed knowledge of fundamental aspects of a contemporary operating system, as they relate to the design of software to execute within the operating system.
