As a graduate of our bachelor’s degree program in Mechatronics, you will understand the work materials and methods needed to develop and design mechatronic systems.
You will be able to
- predict and determine the behavior of mechatronic systems and their components through calculations and measurements
- analyze technical problems and solve them as part of a team
- apply engineering fundamentals in theory and practice
Mechatronic engineers can work in many different career fields: Our degree program qualifies you to work in the areas of design, development, construction, commissioning, maintenance and operation of mechatronic systems. For example, you can work in the following job profiles:
- consulting engineer in an engineering firm
- research, development, production and sales at start-ups, mid-sized companies and industrial companies
- monitoring and permitting at official agencies and administrations
We have contacts in many different industries and companies to carry out our cooperations in the course of dual degree programs, joint projects, student theses, research and development. These include:
- regional mid-sized machine and system engineering companies
- Connection technology: Phoenix Contact, Weidmüller
- Automotive supplier: ISRI
- Fittings: ARI, HORA
- Compressors, pums, fans: Boge, Aerzener, Reitz, Jung
- Energy: Lemgo public utilities, Westfalen Weser
- Agricultural technology: Claas
We conduct research in the areas of
- Connection technology
- Electromechanical components and systems
- Power-to-x, sector coupling, hydrogen technology, renewable energies
- Flow simulations (CFD) and machine learning/digital twins
- Fans, ventilation technology, drying
- Measurement of mechanical variables, testing vibrations and acoustics, dynamic systems
- Material testing (including non-destructive), damage analysis
- Dynamometer/Chassis dynamometer
Fields of application include the mobility of the future, sustainable products and production processes, renewable energies, simulation and virtual methods (FEM and multi-body simulation).

Studying at Innovation Campus Lemgo
At the Innovation Campus in Lemgo, you will study at one of the most exciting technology locations in NRW. Here you will find state-of-the-art laboratories and teaching rooms as well as science-to-business factories. For example, the Centrum Industrial IT, in which companies from all over East Westphalia-Lippe (OWL) have their branches. Or the Smart Factory OWL, which showcases data and AI management. In the Future Food Factory OWL, which is unique in Europe, something similar is happening in relation to food production. New work and transfer meet at InnovationSPIN. Here, TH OWL, the district administration and the skilled trades demonstrate transparent cooperation and a spirit that allows new things to emerge. In addition to Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, the campus is also home to two vocational schools and the national handball league team TBV Lemgo-Lippe. And best of all, the campus also has student residence halls with short distances to the university and the city.
