The products of modern mechanical engineering and related industries such as the automotive industry are based on the close co-operation of mechanics, electronics, control engineering and software technology, which is reflected in the term mechatronics. Mechatronics creates new possibilities for leading products such as active chassis and the ESP system. Mechatronics often also replaces complex, historically developed and perfected mechanics, thus enabling a considerable improvement in the price/performance ratio of mechanical engineering products. The progressive automation of production processes also requires the use of mechatronic components and increasingly also the use of machine learning methods.

In the Mechatronics specialisation, you will acquire in-depth knowledge in the modelling, analysis and synthesis of mechatronic systems. You will gain an overview of the methods of control engineering and their application to mechatronic systems.

Consultancy focus:

• Mechatronics
