Mechatronics education at CDHAW of Tongji University: Structure, orientation and curriculum

摘要

Mechatronics is a new emerging discipline challenging the traditional engineering thinking and practices. The Chinese-German School of Applied Sciences (Chinesisch-Deutsche Hochschule fur Angewandte Wissenschaften, CDHAW) is an educational project of the Chinese Ministry of Education (MoE) and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), implemented by the Tongji University and a consortium of German Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS). Mechatronics engineering is one of its three majors at present. This paper discusses the structure, orientation and curriculum design of mechatronics engineering education at CDHAW of Tongji University.
