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)
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
control mechatronic and smart systems. In order to learn and understand how to create and
control mechatronic and smart 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 mini-projects 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 mini-projects. 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-project requirements
for each mini-project.
There will be two open session lectures for students to work on their group design project using
LEGO Mindstorms and to ask 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 group design project you will be
expected to put in a significant amount of work on the projects OUTSIDE of your tutorial time.
The online course related communication will be mainly conducted via Blackboard. A portion of
the lecture notes will be made available to students in Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word,
or Adobe Acrobat format. Students are responsible for checking Blackboard REGULARLY for
course information and announcements.

Final Grade Breakdown The progressive development of both theoretical knowledge and design skills by each student will be assessed via a variety of assessment tools of unequal level of difficulty. Throughout the term, students will be assigned eight biweekly group problem sets (6 students per group) and a group design project. There will be a written midterm and final examination each of which will include a practical portion that will demonstrate students’ proficiency in Theoretical Knowledge base. Every student will need to demonstrate through the assigned individual and group work that basic engineering and design skills have been achieved. 1) Lab Mini projects: 5 projects, each 3% 15% 2) Group Assignments: must be submitted online and in docx format 10% 3) Group Design Project: report, presentation, and robot competition 35% 4) Midterm 20% 5) Final Exam 20% 6) Self and Peer Evaluation Sheet 00%
NOTE: Normally the scope of a Group Design Project includes:
Submission of a weekly maintained project logbook;
Submission of a final project report by the respective deadline up to 30 pages long;
Submission of a CD containing the project report including the required engineering documentation (e.g., NQC program Code, etc.) by the respective deadline;
A 10-minute in-class PowerPoint supported group oral presentation
Prototype demonstration pertaining to the project in the robot competition day.
Self and Peer Evaluation is mandatory for each student to provide feedback on the contributions and participation of individual team members on MECE 3390U-related teamwork activities that include: Group’s Assignments and the Design Project.

Accessibility
Students with disabilities may request to be considered for formal academic accommodation in accordance with
the Ontario Human Rights Code. Students seeking accommodation must make their requests through the Exam
Centre for 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
will 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

Academic Integrity 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.
