Mechatronics (Bachelor of Engineering)
Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or information technology? Do all of these subjects interest you? The mechatronics study programme covers exactly these three areas.
Mechatronics allow you to convert mechanical systems into intelligent plant and machinery. Many mechatronic products have already become a regular part of our day-to-day lives - or could you imagine a life without cars, CD and DVD players or dishwashers?
Did you know?
Thanks to mechatronics and GPS, our harvesting machines are able to harvest a field and remain on track without any steering movements from the driver.
For trainee mechatronic engineers, the combination of mechanical engineering, electronics and information technology results in a wide-ranging and demanding study programme because you have to be up-to-date in all of the individual disciplines without losing sight of the overall picture.
At CLAAS, you can look forward to a broad field of activity: You will be responsible for the development and manufacturing of self-propelled harvesting machines as well as system, transport and tractor vehicles for the agricultural sector.
We offer this dual-study programme at the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart or at the Fachhochschule Bielefeld at the Gütersloh site. CLAAS provides additional support for its dual-study programme students in the form of workshops and product trainings.
If you have any questions about the training programme or your application, please do not hesitate to contact us.
