15 years of experience with mechatronics research and education

This paper describes the experiences with mechatronic research projects and several educational structures in the University of Twente since 1989. Education took place in a two-year Mechatronic Designer programme, in specialisations in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and in an (international) MSc programme. There are two-week mechatronic projects in the BSc curricula of EE and ME. Many of the PhD and MSc projects were done in projects sponsored by the industry or by application-oriented research programs. Research topics included modelling and simulation (learning) control, embedded systems and mechatronic design.
