Offer of the Faculty of Mechatronics

What do we do here?

The notion mechatronics was coined for the first time in 1969 in Japan and more or less denoted an electrified mechanism. The contemporary meaning denotes an area of engineering which combines mechanics, electronics, automatics and robotics, as well as IT. Mechatronics is considered one of the key areas of expertise in the ongoing 4.0 revolution, i.e. combination of automatics, data processing and exchange and manufacturing techniques.
