Due to structural changes in many industrial companies, those with a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics frequently perform tasks in the areas Development, Project Management, Flexible Manufacturing, Quality Assurance and Sales at the same time. The mechatronics study course trains students for these varied requirements and the practical integrated degree program also encourages social competencies and methods expertise. Innovations in technical areas necessitate, for example, that the opportunities offered by electrical engineering and control technology are optimally used in addition to exploiting the potential provided by the mechanical design. Mechatronics is, therefore, a study course, in which there is a special interrelation between the following disciplines:

• Mechanical systems from mechanical engineering and precision engineering
• Electronic systems containing sensors, actuators, micro electronics and power electronics
• Information technology, particularly in automation engineering

As a student at the DHBW Mannheim, you regularly change between theoretical and practical training phases during three years of study. The study course begins with a pre-university internship in July. From October onwards you will alternate between the DHBW and the company.

The mechatronics study course requires a good basic knowledge of mathematics and science, creativity and the will to learn about and use new technologies, in order to find optimum solutions for technical problems through innovation.

This integrated degree program is offered at the Herzogenaurach location in cooperation with the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University Mannheim.
