Course Content

You shape the future

The Bachelor’s degree programme in “Mechatronics and Project Management for Digital Production” comprises six theoretical semesters and one practical semester, and leads to the academic degree “Bachelor of Engineering” (B.Eng.). Individual support, practical relevance, small study groups and close links to research and industry are the hallmarks of this programme.

Upon completion of the programme, a wide range of career opportunities will be open to you. You will acquire the ideal entry requirements to start a career in industry. The structure of the programme, with its specialisations and wide range of optional modules, enables an individual and flexible study experience. Consistently practice-oriented teaching equips you to work independently as an engineer or project manager in the field of mechatronic systems.

A special feature is the opportunity to study this bachelor's degree course in cooperation with a regional company -  this is not a requirement, though.

We believe it is important to balance family and work commitments with your studies. We look forward to hearing from you. If you need any further support beyond what is offered in the study plan, please do get in touch with us in advance: studium-cham@th-deg.de

CAMPUS CHAM

The Cham Teaching and Research Campus offers an international atmosphere, forward-looking degree programmes and cutting-edge research in mechatronics, robotics and AI. Here, theory meets practice – for the region’s economy and your future career!

Student case studies

Profile

In addition to classic lectures, there is also the dynamic concept of case studies in our four master's programmes and the practical "Project Module" in this bachelor's programme. Here, student working groups are formed to deal with a specific research topic in an application-oriented manner during the semester. As part of the bachelor's "Project Module", a driverless transport system has been implemented that autonomously travels to defined stations, e.g. loaded with tools.

Career Prospects

The interdisciplinary undergraduate programme "Mechatronics and Project Management for Digital Production" aims at providing education based on scientific knowledge and methods through practice-oriented teaching.

Building on the fundamentals of engineering sciences, the programme's focus on Digital Production deepens specific knowledge of modern automation technology, robotics, networked systems (cloud computing, network communication) and digital methods in production.The programme takes into account both the internationalisation of study operations as well as the so-called "industrial digital transformation" (Industry 4.0).

Training takes place exclusively on Campus Cham. Owing to the interdisciplinary character of this training, graduates are to be enabled to work independently as engineers within the field of mechatronic systems.

This course aims at equipping students to carry out engineering activities in the following fields:

  •     Development (conception, design, calculation, simulation and construction of hardware/software for mechatronic systems)
  •     Fabrication
  •     Quality Assurance
  •     Sales (customer consulting and project management)
  •     Assembly, Commissioning and Service
  •     Operation and Maintenance
  •     Monitoring and Assessment

How do you benefit from absolving this undergraduate programme?

  • cost savings: a training contract is concluded with an industrial partner for the duration of the course. This industrial partner assumes costs of the student service fees and pays a monthly training allowance.
  • early contact with potential future employers: during the semester break, students already work in the employer's company and thus acquire practical, operational procedures and detailed technical knowledge.
  • close integration of theory and practice: at Campus Cham, training rooms and laboratories are located in close proximity. Practical parts of the training can be easily integrated into the teaching operation.
  • small study groups: compared to conventional universities, this study course with in-depth practice takes place in small study groups with intensive supervision.
  • modern teaching and learning methods: classes take place in modern seminar rooms on Campus Cham.
