Co-operative education program in mechatronics

Mechatronics technicians are encountered at KUKA above all on the large machines and robots. They assemble complex mechatronic systems comprising all kinds of components – electrical, electronic and mechanical. These also include electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic control systems. They manufacture the components themselves.

What is more, the mechatronics technicians look after the associated hardware and software: for example, they program the software for systems and install it.

The co-operative education program in mechatronics takes 4.5 years at our site in Augsburg, 3.5 years in Bremen. When you complete the co-operative education program as an mechatronic (CIC), you will also qualify for the title of Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.).

KUKA offers the co-operative education program in mechatronics at two sites. As a student, you divide your time between the local plant and the university or vocational school:

Augsburg:

• KUKA AG, Augsburg
• Augsburg University of Applied Sciences
• Augsburg I and Augsburg VII vocational school

 

Bremen:

• Bremen University of Applied Sciences

You should meet the following criteria in order to embark on the co-operative education program:

School qualifications

• Matriculation qualification for tertiary education

Interests and attributes

• Affinity for mechanical and electronic systems and technology
• Interest in different materials, components and machines
