Why choose this specialty?
Future innovations in the fields of electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, as well as their application areas such as automotive engineering, manufacturing technology, and medical technology, will possess increasingly numerous and expanded functions. In the future, systems will increasingly consist of a complex range of networked mechanical, electrical, and IT subsystems. Their functionality will arise from the interaction of sub-components. To examine complex systems starting from individual electrical, electronic, mechanical, and IT sub-components while preserving their overall functionality, a technologically open and interdisciplinary approach is necessary. In mobile systems, drive technology and sensor technology are being combined with increasingly important communication and information technologies.
By default, mechatronics and information technology engineers deal interdisciplinarily with the interaction of mechanical, electronic, and information elements and modules.
At the beginning of the 21st century, there is a unique opportunity for young engineers to influence the socially significant topic of "Mobility" and successfully change it. In the coming decades, diversification of drive concepts, sensor technology, and control systems will take place. Mechatronics and information technology engineers will invent, develop, and implement the necessary mobility systems and their components. This will affect not only personal vehicles (cars) but also all means of transport, as well as mobile systems in flexible industrial production.
If you are interested in where you can apply your acquired knowledge of mathematics and physics, and if after obtaining a bachelor's or master's degree you would like to practice a fascinating profession with excellent future prospects and become a mechatronics and information technology engineer, you are exactly in the right place.
