Mechatronik und Informationstechnik (Mechatronics and Information Technology) – Inter-departmental Program of KIT
Tomorrow’s innovations in electrical engineering and mechanical engineering as future-oriented branches of industry and their applications in automotive industry, production technology or medical engineering will have more and increasingly complex functionalities. In future, products will consist of numerous of interconnected mechanical, electric, and IT components. Their functionalities will result from the interaction of all subsystems. Due to their high complexity, their production will require an interdisciplinary design and construction process.
Courses of the Bachelor’s Program
The Institute of Control Systems offers the basic compulsory lecture on System Dynamics and Control (“Systemdynamik- und Regelungstechnik”) in the bachelor’s program. Together with the Institute of Product Engineering, the interdepartmental lecture Mechatronic Systems and Products (“Mechatronische Systeme und Produkte”), a classical lecture combined with a workshop, is offered. For further specialization, students are free to attend the course Practical Design of Control Systems (“Praktischer Entwurf Regelungstechnischer Systeme”).

Modules of the Master’s Program
Apart from the compulsory lecture Control of Linear Multi-variable Systems (“Regelung linearer Mehrgrößensysteme”), the Institute of Control Systems also offers courses in the three elective modules of Control Technology in Mechatronics (“Regelungstechnik in der Mechatronik”), Industry Automation (“Industrieautomation”), and Robotics (“Robotik”). More information on the specializations can be found in the program’s module manual.
The course advisor can accept other courses offered by the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or Informatics as elective modules. In any case, the course chosen should fit to the specialization selected.
