Key learning outcomes

You are capable of engaging in scientific discourse in the engineering disciplines of

• Mechatronics,
• Engineering,
• Electronics and
• Information Technology

Specialisation - Sensor Systems and Actuators:

Graduates

• can select the correct measurement principles and sensor systems for diverse measurement and control tasks in Mechatronics. They know the operation and thus the related limits of important sensors. They have insight into the production processes of microtechnical sensors. They can design and dimension analogue and digital systems to process the signals.

• know the operation of modern actuators (e.g. rotating field machines, microactuators, permanent magnet synchronous generators), their dynamics and unique features in controls (e.g. field-oriented control). They can analyse complex power electronics circuits (static, dynamic) and know their desirable and undesirable effects. Terms such as EMC, PFC, distortion and their effects are known.

Specialisation - Embedded Systems

Graduates

• know the fundamental concepts of object-oriented analysis and design with UML. They apply object-oriented methods for real-time systems and embedded systems.

• know the network and bus systems as well as the protocols and encoding in the field of mechatronics and can apply them.

• know the specific problems of real-time systems and methods and how you can resolve these problems.

Specialisation - Robotics

Graduates

• are capable of designing and implementing complete control and regulation systems for multi-body systems in general and in robots specifically as well as integrating additional sensors (particularly 3D image processing systems).
  

• are capable of calculating the positions, angles, forces, speeds and acceleration of multi-joint systems with the aid of robot kinematics and dynamics.

Specialisation - Computer Aided Engineering - FEM, CFD

Graduates

• use numeric flow simulation and recognise its possibilities and limits.

• are capable of handling static and dynamic phenomena of mechanical structures with non-linear behaviour or a non-linear approach. They can conduct, verify and interpret simulation for various problems with the correct selection of solution algorithms.

Specialisation - Production Technology:

Graduates

• command production measurement technology and reverse engineering in terms of the reverse engineering of digitalised mechanical structures into the CAD system. They create CNC programmes with the aid of machine programming. They generate target-actual comparisons and assess these qualitatively.
  

• are familiar with various concepts of product structuring and variant management. They work with all data that is necessary for a product in the product life cycle. They design authorisation and approval processes in product development and manufacturing. They manage the interfaces to other systems.
