Abstract:
Mechatronics has been an emerging subject in industry with the introduction of a large volume of mechatronics product to the market. In addition, it gives rise to tremendous challenge for education of mechatronic engineering, because mechatronics is an area encompassing multidisciplinary knowledge of mechanical engineering, electrical/electronics engineering, and information technology. This paper explains the efforts of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) to embed the education of mechatronics in its educational program of ‘Design and Innovation’, and the use of a special type of Unified Modeling Language (UML), statechart, to teach the topic of system integration in the course of ‘Design of Mechatronic Systems’.
