Electrical drive technology and power electronics represent a core area of mechatronics studies at the JKU. Once the academic degree programs switched from a Diploma degree format to the the international Bachelor's and Master's system in 2007, the Mechatronics program became a three-year Bachelor's degree program and a two-year Master's degree progam.
Both programs focus on electrical drive engineering, ranging from base-knowledge topics and the design and layout of machines to chapters in modern control engineering for brushless motors. Courses in the field of power electronics cover a wide range of topics.
Key points in the program include:
- Fundamentals
- Application orientation
- Scientific depth
- Independence and ability to learn
- Sustainability and expertise
- Ability to work effectively as part of a team and strengthening one's social skill set
- Criticism and decision-making ability
