Meaning of Mechatronics … John Millbank (University of Salford, 1995) „By Definition, then, Mechatronics is not a subject, science or technology per se - it is instead to be regarded as a philosophy – a fundamental way of looking at and doing things“ or „Mechatronics is the functional and spatial integration of systems“ ©2012 University of Applied Sciences Esslingen February 22, 2019

Why we work in Mechatronics Classically, academic education in engineering sciences in Germany is sub-divided into the following subjects Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer and Information Sciences Today, systems are rarely mechanical, electrical or software only, and hence, they require knowledge in integrating all these subjects Therefore, our philosophy is Think in systems rather than in insulated components Be able to work in a interdisciplinary environment Our concept: Teach Mechatronics and provide the students with the possibility to put their emphasis on specific aspects by choosing an appropriate track in the third semester.
