NTU Department of Mechanical Engineering NTUME

Since its establishment in 1943, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at National Taiwan University has produced many outstanding mechanical engineers

and researchers in the nation in both high-tech and traditional industries. Evolving with rapid technology advancements, our educational objective has been modified to provide students with fundamental knowledge across a broad spectrum of science and mechanics and of recent advances in these fields. Beyond rigorous training in five core disciplines—Solid Mechanics, Design, Manufacturing, Fluids and Heat transfer, and System Control —we also promote studies in cross-domain knowledge. The curriculum is focused on developing students’ analytical skills and integration capabilities of professional knowledge. Students are given with opportunities to be involved in laboratory experiments and project-based practice through which they learn to apply knowledge to solve real assignments or engineering problems with creativity and confidence. We educate our students to be capable of using multidisciplinary approaches to solve problems and to have a vision of industrial development and technology trends while understanding their social responsibility. The Department consistently reviews the curriculum to make improvements and maintain the standards of the IEET Educational Accreditation in 2005 (B.S.), 2007 (M.S., Ph.D.), 2011 (all programs) and 2017 (all programs).

Besides our educational mission, the Department’s faculty leads strong research teams in a broad range of fields, such as micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), precision nano-manufacturing, novel manufacturing technologies, advanced power system, biomechanics, biomedical micro-devices, renewable clean energy, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, multi-phase flow, structural integrity and reliability, robotics, intelligent technologies, and so on. The Department publishes about 200 journal papers cited by the Science Citation Index and receives about 30 patents annually.

Solid Mechanics Group

Knowledge of the static and dynamic behavior of a solid component is crucial to a successful product and a safe manufacturing process. Hence, we investigate the strength of a material or a structure, its elastic and plastic behavior, its fracture mechanism, and its fatigue, as well as its response to loading to understand its vibration, deformation, and failure. The integration of all these knowledge constitutes the analysis of system structure, system stability, and system reliability. We also look into a wide spectrum of new materials or technologies for industrial applications, such as the application of piezoelectric materials, energy harvesting techniques, high power motors, hybrid power vehicles, and metal forming and mold design. In addition, we are also strong in inter-disciplinary research, particularly in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), biomechanics, and surface and interface phenomena.

In response to rapidly evolving technology trends and industrial needs, the undergraduate course curriculum is aimed at providing a broad spectrum of education

on scientific and engineering fundamentals and advancements, with equal focus on analytical skills and hands-on practice.

The first two years of study are composed primarily of compulsory courses, emphasizing the fundamentals of science and engineering as well as the development of analytical skills. The focus of upper-level courses shifts to advanced topics and trains students to integrate knowledge acquired from the core courses through laboratory experiments and practice in our many elective courses. Through practical training and projects, students learn to combine their knowledge and techniques to develop original solutions to real-world engineering problems with confidence. While deeply rooted in the core disciplines of mechanical engineering, the program offers great flexibility for students to explore interdisciplinary subjects according to their interests and study plans.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering works together with the students and the faculty to fulfill seven educational objectives:

The Measurement and Mechanical Engineering Laboratory was reformed in 2017 and is now the primary teaching base for the year-long compulsory course for

junior students, Measurement and Mechanical Engineering Laboratory. Weekly lectures are first offered to introduce how different transducers can measure various physical quantities. The lectures cover the realization of each sensing technique and how each technique may be implemented into a mechanical system to monitor the physical processes. Following the lectures, students take weekly laboratory sessions in a group of 3-5 students to (1) implement basic sensing elements plus the signal manipulation circuit, (2) assemble and operate fundamental transducers with calibration, (3) conduct in-situ measurements via data acquisition facilities and commands, and (4) analyze the data and evaluate their measurements.

Currently, the syllabus covers 12 sensing elements or techniques, including strain gauges, load cells, piezoelectric actuators, accelerometers, thermal couples, manometers, pressure transducers, rotameters, orifices, ultrasonic flow meters, pitot tubes, and PIV velocity field measurement. We also work with 10 measurement or mechanical systems to prepare students for realistic applications. The present facilities include 2 X-Y tables, 14 sets of motor modules, 10 rotation balance test platforms, 12 programmable tensile test platforms, 1 low-speed wind tunnel, 1 flow visualization air channel, 3 liquid flow visualization shear cells, 3 thermal boundary layer flow channels, 4 table-top water tunnels, and 3 refrigeration systems.

Operating and measuring mechanical systems help students to consolidate their understanding of fundamental mechanics from different disciplines and advance their vision in system design. Also addressed in the course are the error evaluation in the post-data analysis and how measurement uncertainty should be taken into consideration when seeking a measurement solution. Eventually, students can design and build a measurement facility or mechanical system under the consideration of both accuracy and cost. Acknowledging the benefits of laboratory practice on the education and learning of fundamental mechanics, we share the facilities for use in other compulsory/selective courses so that new experiments can be designed to enrich the present curriculum.

The Mechat ron ics Labora to ry was established in 2015 to support a wide

spectrum of laboratory sessions for many courses, such as Applied Electronics, Control System, Automatic Machine Design, Digital Control, and other project-oriented courses.

Here, students develop hands-on skills in precise movement control of mechanical components, system structure balance, and performance optimization. Registered students have full access to the facilities that include 12 workstations, each equipped with a desktop PC, an all-in-one electronic instrument, a sensor-actuator-linkage module, and a servo motor test platform.

The all-in-one instrument (NI Virtual Bench) contains a mixed-signal oscilloscope, an arbitrary waveform generator, a digital multimeter (DMM), a programmable DC power supply, and a single channel digital I/O which connects a device with a PC. The Lego Mindstorms EV3 module includes sensors, motors, and linkage components so that students can efficiently assemble a mechanism according to their design to realize mechatronic and control projects. Finally, the self-developed servo motor test platform is composed of a servo motor, a hysteresis brake, and a single-axis adjustable load platform that is programmable with the C programming language. The motor is a servo permanent-magnet synchronous motor, equipped with a 13-bit encoder, which makes it suitable for high-speed, high-response, and high-precision positioning applications.

Taking part in the global transformation of engineering education that extends beyond theory and into applications, the Department established the Innovative

Design and Fabrication (IDF) Center in October 2014 under the support from the University and its alumni. Covering a total area of 600 square meters, the IDF Center is located in the Yung-Ling Biomedical Building and can host up to 150 students. The Center serves as an educational laboratory for students to integrate digital design with modern digital manufacturing while they measure and test for prototype improvement. By completing this process, students gain familiarity with the design-test-build cycle. This space is provided for the sake of promoting active learning and teamwork spirit for individuals and groups through making. More importantly, the IDF Center is student-focused, meaning that students are in charge of taking initiatives in its maintenance and function; such engagement shall stimulate students’ motivation to go beyond the curriculum and help students to gain confidence towards their profession.

Maker SpacesInnovative Design and Fabrication Center

Currently, the Center is the home base of the compulsory capstone course, Practice of Mechanical Engineering, in which junior students team up to build a table-top vehicle or robot for contests. After taking a training class, students have full access to the Center’s facilities that include 6 work benches with a wide range of hand tools, 12 medium-level 3D printers, 2 industrial-level 3D printers, 4 XY tables, 3 laser cutters, 3 desktop CNC milling machines, 1 6R robot arm, and many other desktop machines. In addition to machining facilities, the Center also provides simple measurement tools and 3 sets of electronic laboratory instruments.

25


Efforts have also been made to make the IDF Center smarter by linking the machines and the space with sensors and actuators so that remote control and intelligent management with cloud data can be demonstrated to the students and accessible in higher education. At the moment, we have implemented an unmanned access control system with camera surveillance and indoor object tracking together with environment monitoring via temperature, humidity and vibration sensors.

Successful engineering products require well-planned machining procedures and careful selection of materials. The compulsory course Workshop Practice is

provided for freshman students. In this course, students learn to operate machining tools and understand mechanical manufacturing processes through hands-on practice or on-site demonstration by our technicians and teaching assistants. Students shall appreciate workflow design and learn the concepts of precision and tolerance through parts machining and assembling, in preparation for advanced design and manufacturing courses. Other courses that take place here include Practice of Mechanical Engineering, Practice on Advanced Industrial Machinery, Practice Project on Machining, and Metalworking Practice. Most importantly, the facilities are open to students for completing their course assignments, and engineering projects and research, within and beyond their course curriculum.

The global energy and climate change crises force countries around the world to set up increasingly stringent emission standards. In response to this situation,

automakers have made improving the efficiency of energy use their foremost objective. Among possible solutions, the electrification of engine vehicles is one of the most promising methods to achieve low fuel consumption and low pollution emission. Accordingly, hybrid electric vehicles or pure electric vehicles are the mainstream choices of modern vehicles and are the developing trends in a society in pursuit of clean energy. In addition to the battery system, motors and drivers with high power, a broad frequency range, and high efficiency are indispensable components for electrification.

The Advanced Power Research and Development Center (APRDC) was established in 2013 under the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). A four-year sprout project in the Fundamental Industrial Technology Development program—High-Power System and Electric Vehicle Efficiency Improvement and Reliability Basic Technology Research—was executed. The research subjects of this project included the materials for the motors, the design and analysis of magnetic-solid-thermal coupling systems, thermal management solutions, control systems, fabrication, and system reliability. Since the project started, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has formed a strong research team devoted to the research and development of advanced motors for vehicles and the power systems of motor drives. The researchers have found the key components of the power systems required for electric vehicles or electric buses in Taiwan. These research achievements can be further extended to develop a variety of hybrid vehicles, such as range-extended electric vehicles (REEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). The Center laid a significant milestone for the development of vehicle electrification in Taiwan and its future entry into the international market.

In 2015, the National Energy Program Phase II of MOST supported a three-year project-Intelligent Energy-saving IPHEV Power System and Xil Platform. Under the mission of saving energy in transportation, researchers have developed relevant

theories, key technology, and software and hardware of PHEV power systems and intelligent electric vehicles. On the one hand, research has focused on the theoretical models of the PHEV system; such as engine power systems, motor models, and transmission systems; in addition to the development of hybrid power systems and control strategy, multi-stage system modeling and integration, and the promotion of the stability and reliability of the integrated system. All of these lead to a robust MiL (model-in-the-loop) virtual platform. On the other hand, efforts have been made to expand the existing test platform of motor power systems to a HiL (hardware-in-the-loop) test platform of hybrid power systems. Mutual verification between the MiL virtual platform and the HiL test platform has been achieved. In the meantime, a robust failure assessment and fault tolerance algorithm are the established requirements of international standards such as ISO 26262.

Currently, the Center also cooperates closely with various companies and research institutes, such as the Hua-Chuang Automobile Information Technical Center Co., Ltd. (Luxgen Motor Co., Ltd.); Gogoro, Chroma ATE, Inc.; and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), in the development of vehicle electrification.
