Brief description

In the "Mechatronics Project", practice-oriented, technical-scientific tasks are worked on in project groups over a semester. In addition to the technical work, the focus is on project organization, teamwork, and independent research, as well as the documentation and presentation of the work and the results achieved. The aim is to find joint solutions to complex interdisciplinary problems under given conditions.

Teaching and learning outcomes

  1. Professional learning content from mechatronics according to the changing tasks
  2. Interdisciplinary aspects: Recognizing synergies through the interaction of specialist disciplines
  3. Analysis of the task and definition of objectives
  4. Project planning
  5. Research and information procurement
  6. Development of possible solution concepts and technical evaluation of selected solutions
  7. Presentation and documentation of the results

Recommended prior knowledge

Modules from semester 1 to 3.

Knowledge Broadening

In various projects, students acquire extensive mechatronic knowledge by designing interdisciplinary problems and developing technological solutions. This practice-oriented work strengthens their ability to independently analyze complex tasks and design innovative concepts taking into account various specialist disciplines.

Knowledge deepening

Students deepen their specialist knowledge in mechatronics by analysing the technical and interdisciplinary aspects of project tasks in detail and recognizing and using synergies between the individual specialist disciplines. Through the development and technical evaluation of solution concepts, they gain a profound understanding of the practical application of mechatronic principles and methods in complex problem solutions.

Knowledge Understanding

-

Application and Transfer

Students can combine their interdisciplinary knowledge to design innovative mechatronic systems and identify system optimizations with regard to costs, efficiency and sustainability.

Academic Innovation

Students can develop their competence in scientific innovation by working on interdisciplinary tasks through the integration of different specialist disciplines and designing new solutions and technologies. This ability enables them to systematically analyze complex problems and develop innovative, technically sound solutions that go beyond conventional approaches.

Communication and Cooperation

-

Academic Self-Conception / Professionalism

Students can develop their academic self-image and professionalism through the practical application of specialist knowledge in solving realistic problems. They learn to independently reflect on and further develop their specialist and methodological skills in order to make an effective individual contribution to interdisciplinary teams and to act professionally.
