Mechatronics – (B.Eng.)

Contents

Discover Mechatronics

In the first semester you learn about the mechatronic development process. You are introduced to the various disciplines, are tasked to build a model of a mechatronic product with a group of students, and you will experience - in theory and in practice - why it works (or why it doesn´t!).

Build Mechatronics

In the second semester the task is to build a product which is able to move autonomously. The subjects are mechanical design, embedded systems and the underlying mathematics and physics plus an introduction to cybernetics. These subjects all deal with dynamics and motion.

Develop Mechatronics

In the third semester focus is on the development of intelligent mechatronic systems. Lessons are given in electronics, mechanics, sensors, actuators and the underlying theory. Moreover, you develop an intelligent product, i.e. a product which includes mechanics, electronics and software.

Mechatronics and the Environment

In the fourth semester you learn advanced aspects of mechatronics including thermo dynamics, advanced regulation technique and you are introduced to the specialisation you choose (nanotechnology, embedded systems or dynamic mechatronic systems). The semester project is based on the chosen profile and the possibility for practical application.

Experts in teams

In the fifth semester instruction continues in advanced mechatronic systems, regulation technique and CAE (Computer Aided Engineering), and your chosen specialisation. In cooperation with a private company, the semester project is carried out in interdisciplicary groups and you will be the expert in your professional field. The project assignment must result in a working prototype. Aside from the engineering skills focus is on teamwork and entrepreneurship.

Engineering internship

In the sixth semester you y out the engineering internship in a private company, and companies usually pay interns a salary. In the company you work in an engineering division where you carry out one or more assignments during the semester. This way you apply the gained knowledge in practice in the "real world".

Final project

In the seventh semester you carry out you final project in cooperation with a private company. For the project you have two supervisors, one from the university and one from the company. You solve an engineering assignment - typically a development assignment on which your final examination is based.
