Abstract
A search of the internet for ‘mechatronics education’ yields many hits with information on many forms of academic mechatronic programmes. They range from BSc to MSc programmes as well as integrated four or five-year programmes. Sometimes, there is a clear philosophy behind this choice, but often it is based on the local culture or possibilities. Several mechatronic programmes seem to be based on simply adding courses on electronics, PLCs and logic circuits to an existing ME curriculum.
