• Resumen

  • Mechatronics engineering is a new discipline area where multidisciplinary synthesis, teamwork and communication,hands-on and laboratory experiences, open ended problem formulation and solving, and examples of ‘best practices’ fromindustry are emphasized. This paper presented how the ‘philosophy of simulating industry (SI)’ was realized inmechatronics engineering education at the Chinese-German school of applied sciences (Chinesisch-Deutsche Hochschulefuer Angewandte Wissenschaften, CDHAW) of Tongji University. The key elements include: (1) integrated knowledgenetwork, (2) integrated PBL and DBL methodology, (3) integrated industry-based internship and bachelor thesis. Theresults of this exploration and practice are encouraging and promising, and experiences are shared.
