Since the introduction of the term "mechatronics" about 30 years ago, mechatronics has meanwhile developed into a discipline of the engineering sciences that is very well established both in science and in the industrial environment and can no longer be imagined without.
It deals with the interaction of mechanical, electronic and information technology components.
The chair at the UDE was already founded in 1991 and is thus one of the oldest university mechatronics chairs in Germany. Here, a team of about 20 scientists under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. Dieter Schramm is primarily concerned with applications in the mobility sector.

The "Higher Education Integration Award of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research" will be awarded for the first time in 2021 to higher education institutions and initiatives that aim to integrate refugees into their studies, into society and into the labour market.
MOTION – MObility TransformaTIONCAR turns into MOTION
The CAR Institute at UDE is realigning itself and becoming significantly larger. "In the future, the fields of work will not be limited to automotive engineering and economics, but will also include other areas of mobility. These include ship technology and transport logistics," explains Prof. Dr. Dieter Schramm, Dean of Engineering. Consequently, more members will strengthen the institute and it will get a new name: MOTION - MObility TransformaTION.
Transfer
Research and teaching at the Chair of Mechatronics are not an end in themselves. Rather, they have to serve the benefit of society. For this reason, we attach great importance to the transfer of knowledge, results of research projects and people to the economy and society. This endeavour is implemented through a large number of cooperative publicly funded and bilateral projects with industry, the preparation of young academics for responsible positions in companies or employment with public employers. Last but not least, this is reflected in the involvement of faculty members in the founding of start-ups.
StartUps
mercatronics GmbH
In the realisation of mechatronic system solutions, mercatronics GmbH uses a well-equipped toolbox: in addition to the development and production of mechanical and electronic components, microcontrollers (including Arduino and ARM), PLC technology and robot systems are integrated into cost-effective solutions and supplied from prototype to small series. Project management and software development complete the portfolio. Apps for iOS, Android and Windows Mobile as user interfaces are increasingly gaining customer interest.
SHS plus GmbH
Increasing productivity & product quality as well as automation & digitalisation in plastics processing
To this end, SHS offers solutions from the four business areas of:
- Consulting
- Simulation
- Automation
- Virtual assistance
NectOne
NectOne® was founded as a spin-off from the Chair of Mechatronics at the University of Duisburg-Essen in 2015. The founder, Dr. -Ing. Sebastian Feldmann worked several years as solutions architect of ERP and CRM systems at various integration projects. While finishing his PhD he was the leading engineer for several key-projects like the humanoid robot HUMECH (www.humech.de) and FAROMIR (www.faromir.de). NectOne supports customers in development and implementation of industry 4.0 solutions at complex mechatronic systems, in Robotics, Industrial Production and Automotive application.
Further educationMaster „Automotive Engineering & Management Executive“
Since spring 2016, new opportunities have opened up for a Master's degree in "Automotive Engineering & Management".
The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen offers the five-semester Master's programme, which is unique in Germany, on a part-time basis for professionals who have successfully completed a suitable degree programme and have relevant professional experience.
The Master's programme combines economic and technical study content that is specifically geared towards the automotive industry. This enables you to further substantiate your experience already gained in practice professionally and to acquire a further degree.
