Intercultural Training for international Students – for first all-english STA program German and Chinese students got to know each other during the on-line intercultural training using our “VCAT“ platform. German students greeting their Chinese classmates upon arrival at the airport in Berlin.
Traditional approach to technical education: Theory First – synthesis last Bottom-up approach: Build the theoretical foundation first
System Approach Top Down Approach: Learn the theory from the system
System Approach: Overall Picture First • Practical example – based on real system • Learning within the system • Complete mechatronic system is the focal point • Select a module of a system • Examine functionality of the module • Select a component of the module • Examine functionality of the component • Learn theoretical principles of the component • Handle with characteristics, limit values, datasheets for the component • Evaluate sources of errors connected with the component • Ability to measure the component - mechanical and electrical (theory, real system) • Independent learning e.g. Pspice/Matlab simulation of an electrical subsystem • Experience in troubleshooting strategies – simulation • Action oriented troubleshooting strategies in the real system • Mechatronic system
Mechatronic system: Gear-sorter Selected module
Video Presentation Gear Sorting Line
Electrical components in module motor sensor solenoid
Module Simulation of the module – with PLC simulation or PLC hardware SIMIT Simulation with PLCSIM and PLC Program
Electrical components of the module • Learning the principles of the components • using simulation tools • To be fully aware of how to use datasheets and books • Work and communicate via Internet • Earn the ability how to use the ex- • perience of professionals
Troubleshooting strategies • Learning steps: • How to identify malfunctions • How to measure: theory, simulation, and real system • Learn troubleshooting strategies • Deepen the strategies • by using simulation • tool “heidi”
