Brief description
Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary engineering science related to electrical engineering/electronics, computer science and mechanical engineering. The term mechatronics has become established worldwide and has become the trademark of an interdisciplinary approach to the development, production and marketing of complex system products.
The students of this course of studies are therefore taught interdisciplinary skills and a method-oriented way of working. They are given the necessary skills for the development of mechatronic systems in the automotive industry, production engineering, medical device technology and other areas. Other important fields of application of mechatronics today are biomechatronics and micromechatronics/microsystems technology, which are key areas of education in Ilmenau alongside mechatronic system design. They form the bridge to the life sciences and to micro- and nanotechnology, which depend on interdisciplinarity and systems thinking.
Our self-test will help you to find out what demands are placed on you at the beginning of your studies and how well your skills and aptitudes match the course of study you are interested in.
To the self-test
Common engineeringfundamentals (e.g. mathematics, physics, electromagnetics, computer science, fundamentals of mechanical engineering)
Fundamentals of Mechatronics1 (e.g. electronic and optoelectrophysiological, engineering elements, system technology, technical mechanics, materials, machine elements)
Optional compulsory modules, choice between: Mechatronic systems | bio-mechatronics | micro-mechatronics

Basic and professional internship / bachelor thesis
Through Ilmenau with Janine and Marcel
Janine and Marcel take you on an exciting tour through the campus of the TU Ilmenau and through Ilmenau itself. They describe how they live and study in Ilmenau, give numerous leisure time tips and insights into the place of study of the Ilmenau University of Technology and take you to hidden places in the city.
