Mechatroncis Education at the Johannes Kepler University: Engineering Education in its Totality

A fully academic mechatronics engineering course was established at Linz University in 1990 in response to the expressed needs of industry for this new type of engineer. Mechatronics is taught here in a balanced way, emphasizing mechanical and electrical engineering as well as computer sciences equally. More than six years working experience of graduates in industry confirm the validity of this concept. A study with such a broad scope combined with a sound scientific depth can only be achieved by an articulated well balanced curriculum.
