ICEE 2005 July 26, 2005 Seite 13 Conclusions We incorporated some new ideas into the new undergraduate program in Mechatronics at the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (FH) The professors have to change their pedagogical concepts The professors have to learn how they can deal with real-industry projects in heterogeneous teams The professors have to learn to collaborate with other disciplines Thank you for your attention!
