Student outcomes:

Student outcomes for the Mechatronic Engineering – Mechatronic design are separated into three groups (Knowledge, Skills and Social competence) and are listed below:

Knowledge:

• knowledge of some domains of the physics necessary for understanding complex physical phenomena occurring in mechatronic systems and devices and their surroundings
• extensive and ordered knowledge of IT techniques applied in mechatronics
• knowledge of development trends and most important recent achievements in mechatronics and, to a lesser extent, of automatics, robotics, machine construction, electronics and IT sciences
• knowledge and understanding of the methodology of designing complex mechatronic equipment and methods and techniques used for thier design, knowledge of computer tools for the design and simulation of mechatronic devices
• extensive and theory-based knowledge of mechatronic systems control
• extensive and ordered knowledge of the management of mechatronic projects
• theory-based detailed knowledge of selected aspects of testing, modeling, designing, production and operation of mechatronic systems and devices, as well as the materials and information processing methods used

Skills:

• ability to use methods and mathematical models – and modify them as required if necessary – to analyze and design mechatronic components, equipment and systems
• ability to assess and compare design solutions or manufacturing processes of complex mechatronic devices and systems in terms of the functional and economic criteria given
• ability to formulate a design specification of a complex mechatronic system or device, taking into consideration the legal aspects, such as the protection of intellectual property and other non-technical aspects, such as environmental impact, applying, among others, the standards regulating the operation of mechatronic equipment
• ability to design mechatronic systems and devices for various applications, taking into consideration the given functional and economic criteria and, if required, adjusting the existing methods or developing new methods for design and CAD and CAE tools
• ability to formulate and – using appropriate analytical, simulation and experimental tools – test hypotheses related to modeling and designing mechatronic equipment and systems or designing their manufacturing processes
• ability (while formulating and solving problems related to the modelling and design of mechatronic devices and systems or designing their manufacturing process) to integrate the knowledge of electronics, electrical engineering, IT sciences, automatics, robotics, mechanics, machine construction and operation and other discipline using the system-oriented approach, bearing in mind non-technical (including economic and legal) aspects
• ability to propose improvements to the existing design solutions and models of mechatronic components, devices and systems
• ability to assess the usefulness of recent achievements in the domain of materials, components, methods for the design and manufacture of mechatronic systems and devices featuring innovative solutions

Social competence:

• ability to think and act in an enterprising and creative manner
• understanding of the need to formulate and communicate to society, via the media, information and opinions regarding the achievements of mechatronics and other aspects of the activity of a mechatronic engineer in a commonly understandable manner, presenting different points of view
