Description
Summary:The introduction of smart materials based on piezo ceramics has presented a challenge for current future generations of engineering technologists. Opportunities for new ingenious products and processes through the application of a mechatronic design philosophy has led to an increased performance expectation. The task of educating engineers is recognized as being crucial to satisfying this requirement. A project-based case study is presented as a means of developing the necessary multidisciplinary skills.
