Description

Designing mechatronic products requires an educated approach that takes into account: interdisciplinary design, market related constraints, multifunctionality, user-friendly operation and demand of minimization of the cost of the whole product operation period. Thus designers who create mechatronic products should possess comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge, ability to co-operate in an interdisciplinary designing team as well as team management skills, and knowledge how to use the up-to-date tools of computer aided engineering.

Additionally the know-how in scheduling and carrying out prototyping of mechatronic systems is very useful. This specialty of study to a considerable extent bases on a project oriented type of studying, including co-operation in project teams. Such approach leads to better understanding of specific nature of mechatronic design process and to learning techniques of solving the interdisciplinary design problems. During the study each student will take part in designing and prototyping of a mechatronic product.

The study program consists of courses on design of mechanical, electronic and control systems, as well as techniques of application of software and hardware. A quarter of the courses deal with problem of integration of mechatronic systems. During the classes students learn how to use dedicated software tools as well as testing equipment in the process of designing and prototyping of the complex mechatronic systems.

The specialty courses also comprise problems of designing of embedded systems as well as microsystems (MEMS) that are nowadays more and more often used in everyday life and industry. Thanks to co-operation between the Department and industrial partners students take part in actual research and development activities as well as attend practical trainings.

AGH University of Science and Technology's Mission Statement

AGH-UST, established on 20th October 1919, until 1949 known as the Academy of Mining, founded after long-lasting endeavours which had started in 1782, the year when the Ore Commission was established, has been continuing the traditions of the Academy of Mining in Kielce (1816-1827), inaugurated by StanisBaw Staszic. The University, being a technical school, serves the science and industry through educating students, the development of academic staff, as well as research and development. The University cherishes its traditions and educates its students to be honest and responsible people both at work, and as members of the society, according to its motto: "Labore creata, labori et scientiae servio" (Created in labour, I serve labour and science.)
