Short Description
In mechatronics, the interaction of mechanical and electronic components as well as signal processing is examined and taught.
Developments in vehicle construction, aviation technology, machine tool construction or medical technology depend on the interaction of these aspects. Examples of this are anti-lock braking systems and airbags in vehicles, robots in automation processes and machine tools.
Course Content
- Mobile systems and vehicle mechatronics
- Biomechatronics and robotics
- Automation and AI
The Mechatronics programme is an interdisciplinary bachelor's degree programme with equal parts electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Students receive a broad, scientifically sound education that is combined with practical aspects. The four-semester foundation studies primarily cover mathematical, scientific and technical subjects. An important component is the eight-week pre-study internship, which should ideally be completed before the start of the programme. In addition to theoretical training in lectures and exercises, practical training is provided through experimental laboratories and Independent project work. In the fifth and sixth semesters, students can choose one of three specialisations: Mobile Systems and Vehicle Mechatronics, Biomechatronics and Robotics, or Automation and AI. Alternatively, students can choose not to specialise. The Programme concludes with a bachelor's thesis.
- (German langage only)
Mechatronics students should possess strong powers of imagination and abstraction. It is also important that they have a technical flair, an interest in mathematics and a logical way of thinking. Good foreign language skills are very important for entering the job market. For this reason, English language skills are recommended.
The programme involves eight weeks of , which prospective students are strongly recommended to complete before embarking on the degree programme. No specific time is set aside for completing this basic practical training during the degree programme.
The career prospects for Mechatronics graduates are exceptionally good. They are deployed wherever an intelligent nexus of individual subjects can increase the overall functionality of a system. Typical fields of work are in the automotive and aviation industry, mechanical engineering, media technology and medical technology.
