Graduation
After successfully completing the course, graduates are awarded the
internationally recognised academic degree Master of Engineering
(M. Eng.) by the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena.
The prerequisites for studying to PhD level and access to higher levels
in administration functions are thereby satisfied.

Course Overview
The Mechatronics Master’s degree is a consecutive course comprising
3 semesters. A mechatronics project is completed in the 2nd and 3rd
semester. Writing the Master thesis and a colloquium at which findings
are presented represent the conclusion of the course.

Course Contents and Objectives
Mechatronics – a status update
Mechatronics is a relatively new engineering science combining classic
engineering sciences found in mechanics, electrical engineering and
information technology. Therefore, a mechatronics engineer carries
out activities requiring extensive knowledge of both mechanical
engineering as well as electrical engineering and electronics.
The objectives of the course are adapted to these new requirements,
and underlined with teaching content on the following specialisations:
►► Actuators and Simulation of Electromechanical Systems
►► Embedded Systems / Design of Electronic Systems
►► Model-based Control Systems
►► Mechatronics / Mechatronics Project
One of the Automation Engineering or System Analysis specialist
discipline modules can be selected in addition. Soft skills is another
topic covered.

Master's Thesis
The professors and scientists working in these fields strive towards
excellent levels of teaching that is of practical relevance, with a
solid foundation in the basics. This is achieved in conjunction with
an independent research and development facility having links to the
region’s commercial and scientific networks.
The course is accredited by the ACQUIN Certification Institute.
Course Objectives
In addition to refining students’ knowledge of mathematics and
natural science, the objective is also to teach the fundamentals of the
development of mechatronics systems. The mandatory subjects cover
a broad range of mechanical, information technology and control
engineering applications. Students have the opportunity of developing
technical areas of spezialisation for themselves within elective and
specialist discipline modules and for their Master thesis.
This way students develop the ability to work independently using
scientific methods, as well as to develop and be proficient in new
systems, including research and development work.
