Didactic methods
Forms and methods of passing and general grading criteria or
In the scope of the education process the following
examination requirements
didactic methods will be used:
Lecture: lecture with a multimedia presentation A. Method of passing
 examination
intertwined with a conversation. It is assumed that at
least 5 times during the semester the students will
 passing with a mark
have the task of preparing a short (10-15min)
multimedia presentation on assigned topics. A
randomly chosen person will have the task of
presenting his presentation to a group of all the B. Forms of passing:
students.
 Written exam: test/ with open questions (assignments)/extender
written response
Lab: completion of a cycle of lab exercises. A group  Agreeing on a final mark based on partial marks received during
of students will be divided into sections who
the course of the semester
according to a developed schedule will complete
successive exercises during the semester. The section
must prepare a report in which the results of
measurements and simulations conducted will be
described and conclusions will be presented.
C. Basic grading criteria:
Final subject mark depends on the mark received from written exam as
well as marks received by the students for completing lab exercises
Definition of preparatory subjects and initial requirements
Must specify
A. Formal requirements: passing of Mathematics, Mechanics and Electrotechnics, Numerical methods
B. Initial requirements: the ability to use a PC on an advanced level. Ability to use programs supporting engineering works.
Ability to create presentations in PowerPoint, ability to search for information on a given topic in various sources.
Ability to plan and implement measuring experiments
.
Subject aim
The aims of the subject are:
 Presenting the significance of functioning and structure of complex integrated mechanical-electronic-IT systems. The
ability to model and analyze mechatronic devices as far as their structure and types of internal feedback. Ability to carry
out measuring experiments adequate to the quantities being searched for
 Indicating the possibilities and methods of device decomposition and the analysis of phenomena occurring within, as well
as the possibility of describing the device and its components as well as the construction of mathematical and simulation
models
 A special emphasis will be placed on pointing out the application possibilities of modern electric and fluid (pneumatic and
hydraulic) drives in robotics and motorization

Program content
A. Lecture content:
Functional description of mechatronic systems. Pneumatronics and hydrotronics – integration of solutions from the field of
electronics in pneumatics and hydraulics. Integration of mechanical, pneumatic, electric and IT programs into complex
mechatronic systems. Sensors and actuators. Mechatronic systems – analysis, optimization, designing, examples.
Electromagnetic, electrostatic, piezoelectric, pneumatic, and hydraulic actuators. Microelectromechanical systems.
Electrostatic motors of linear and rotational motion. Selected systems used in measuring mechanical quantities in
mechatronic systems. Electromagnetic actuators. Motion sensors for linear and rotational motion, vibration sensors, force
sensors, electromagnetic accelerometers, piezoelectric sensors. Optical and ultrasound sensors.
Smart materials – SMA materials, MR liquids. MEMS systems – division and areas of application.
B. Lab content
The range of completed lab exercises is connected with content covered during lectures. The idea of the lab is a practical
presentation of selected aspects which are covered during lectures. Labs are selected in such a way so as to enable the student
to get to know the phenomena occurring in the examined systems.
