Teaching Controls and Mechatronics

Prepare students for multidisciplinary problems in automotive, aerospace, and Internet of Things applications with a project-based approach for controls, sensors, actuators, and mechatronics systems.

Rethinking Mechatronics Education

Controls theory and mechatronics curriculum require an active learning approach to translate theory to engineering intuition and prepare students for the complexity of applications in research and industry. Learn how Tsinghua University partnered with NI to develop a complete project-based approach throughout the curriculum to teaching automated systems and mechatronics.

With NI ELVIS III, each student can connect, experiment, and troubleshoot simultaneously on one device, spreading the work out and creating a true teamwork environment.

Prepare students with the modern tools for engineering system design by using the same technology used in over 35,000 companies around the world.

Students were able to learn a new programming environment and complete embedded programming projects in two weeks as a trial for expanding this approach to semester-long courses.
