| Abstract |
Mechatronics systems work in equipment having different destination and complexity as they integrate main systems of electrical engineering – mechanics - informatics - automatic control – electrical drives and their converters – sensors in one unit. General characteristic of mechatronics systems is dynamics. Their purpose is to secure quality and reliability of work process. Faculty of Electrical engineering & Control Systems (EECS) of KTU prepares specialists who must get ability to make synthesis and analysis of the mechatronics systems. It requires close cooperation between the faculty and the companies that need mechatronics specialists. Every specialist of mechatronics must get abilities to work alone or in a team. Curricula of Mechatronics systems Study program provides 4 years bachelor (240 ECTS credits) and 1,5 year engineering master studies (90 ECTS credits). Details of the curricula of mechatronics systems studies are given in two tables. Specialists’ preparing strategy bases on educational and mechatronics systems laboratory equipment renewing and specialists’ qualification improvement. Availability of the laboratory of mechatronics systems is important for education. The corrected scheme of energy and information flow within a mechatronics system is given in the paper. The laboratory is equipped according to the main conception of mechatronics and is supplied by the industrial drive and actuator control equipment of prestigious firms Allen-Bradley, Danfoss, Eurotherm Drives, Misubishi, Omron. Farther cooperation with firms is need for students production training and introducing with skill requirements. It is very important to show the results of education and research works in the international exhibitions. |
