Characteristics of Mechatronics
Complex technical systems
Combining elements of E, I, N and W
Development – Realization – Integration – Test • Controls • Multi-disciplinary (E, I, N, W) • HIghly structured work method (V-model)

Step up to Saxion
Current status: • Broad network in the industry • Solid educational programme • 1st and 2nd year tested and ready • Full credentials, license is obtained (june 2011) • Starting students (43+8) • 3rd & 4th year ‘under construction’ • Lectorate of Mechatronics is being developed • Large contribution of tutors in electrical and
mechanical engineering, applied physics • Demcon plays a major role in formation • Lecturers, tutors and assessors are recruited and
assembled into a ambitious team
-
Step up to Saxion
Forecast 2016: matured and leading
• Robust & solid programme, theory as well as exams • Attractive and challenging learning environment • Professional and modern look and feel • Good support, positive atmosphere and major level
of commitment and involvement • 200-250 students in our MT studies • Beneficial balance input vs output
-
Step up to Saxion
Forecast 2016: matured and leading (continued)
• Dynamic team of lecturers, tutors and assessors (all in one), highly involved in the MT lectorate
• Considerable appreciation (students, industry) • Intense long term interaction between lectorate,
engineering studies, industry, University, etc. • Strong demand from the industry for our graduates
