Report, second partial.

In this partial we worked as a real team, because the work that we have to do demands a lot of us . The enssambling and mounted of the mockup was an important job that some of the mates did, at the same time the circuits mounted on bakelites for some practices of programation, we modified the measurements of an amperemeter to adjust it to the voltage of the mockup. The main idea that we wanted to accomplish was that the diferents devices that we mounted work when somebody connect energy to them. However the alternative energy is an important point to complete, the one that we decided to do is the Daniel’s battery, we have to present the fisics parts and is not necessary that they will be in function. The work that we made as team could be better, but that’s the reason because the program demands to integrate us in a team with differents methods of learning is to make reals conditions of a Project.

A Mechatronics engineer profile

The profile of a mechatronics engineer, is a developer, a designer, a student and specialist of the technology that has the ability to model, simulate and interpret the comportment of the mechatronic systems.
