W.: Didactical Aspects of Mechatronics Education

Abstract: Increasing pressure is placed on universities and vocational training schools with their links to industry to expose students and apprentices to real working environments in education and training of multi-skilled technicians. This led to a new type of job profile which contains a mix of electrical, mechanical and IT knowledge (mechatronics). The paper contributes to these target demands with the development and evaluation of a new kind of multi perspective learning environment for vocational education and training of technicians and skilled workers in the field of mechatronics.
