Why Mechatronics?
Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering with Information Technology. “Real skills for real jobs.” Innovation through integration
System Approach Learning
Then focus on: -‐ System modules -‐ Components -‐ Physical properties -‐ Measurements
Students learn about the
complexities of the system in a holistic fashion
Start at macro level
Ability to pinpoint
malfunctions
Ability to transfer knowledge to another system “Handlungs-‐ kompetenz“
