CMI Multidisciplinary Design Project
Welcome to the Multidisciplinary Design Project (MDP) Website. The MDP is part of a Cambridge-MIT Institute (CMI) programme to develop teaching resources to enhance undergraduate teaching.
This website is for the most part a copy of the resources found on the MDP's Engineer's Desktop and Library (EDaL) system. The EDaL system primarily available as a DVD (but also a CD and a USB image) has been developed to offer users a suite of 'free' programs and resources aimed at helping them to undertake cross-discipline engineering projects. The website is maintained to:-- Enable interested parties to discover some of the items available on the disk.
- Enable exisiting users, who do not have their EDaL system to hand, to access similar data, if not the programs available on the disc.
- Enable users to check the resources as they are improved.
The disk is arranged into a number of main sections:
About the MDP:
Information about the CMI funded MDP initiative, the team working on the project and how you can become involved.
MDP EDaL Disk:
Information about the EDaL disk and its history. Details on how to configure the EDaL disk system, a FAQ section, together with information and tutorials associated with the application packages on the CD.
Library:
A library of general resources for students working on multidisciplinary projects including engineering text books, data sheets, short study documents, and engineering calculation tools.
MDP Microcontroller system.:
Information and support material relating to the microcontroller system developed as part of the MDP.
Resources:
Resources for educators running or starting multidisciplinary design courses including the MDP Kit of mechatronic components and useful course materials.
Forum etc:
Links to the MDP support forum and various off-site supporting resources.
Contact:
Contact information for the primary investigators.
