Mechanical, electrical and electronic These three terms will often come to your ears. Your professional title is composed of “mechanics” and “electronics”. What do these terms mean? Mechanics denotes bodies that move and are related to each other or Forces between bodies. Electronics are concerned with influencing the electrical conductivity in solids by temperature, light or electrical voltage. In plain text: In mechatronics, objects, i.e. components, are installed into a total body and supplemented with electronic circuits using electrical current and electrical voltage. How are you going? First of all, you will study the schematics and technical drawings available for a planned design. You then plan the individual work steps and the material requirement. After all the materials, tools, machines, etc. are present, it can start. Electronic components, for example an electronic card for the motor control of a vehicle, are integrated into mechanical components. Finally, the control software is installed. In this, you program data, for example instructions for a machine or commands for the reactions of a vehicle to certain external stimuli. What if something's broken? No problem! Using diagnostic methods, the cause of error is quickly found. If there is a mechanical problem, the damaged or defective component is replaced. It's not that easy with an electronic problem. The test bench is first tested. To do this, you perform several initial exams and read the results on the PC. What about training? After your training, you can be employed in the field service. You carry out repair, maintenance and maintenance work on site with the customer. The troubleshooting and the resulting removal measures are then your tasks. Finally, transfer the machine to the customer and carry out a instruction. Alternatively, you can find a suitable application area for you in a year of professional experience.

In addition to your basic interest in technology, you should bring craftsmanship and a good spatial imagination. Motivation and careful work Reliability, commitment and team skills are of course for you. You are also open to travel activities in Germany and abroad.
