Siemens Technik Akademie: State recognized school
within Siemens AG
Placement within the corporation
 Siemens Board
 Corporate Personnel
 Siemens Professional Education
(three main sections: Dual system education in business
and technical professions, and technical schools (nondual system)
Siemens Technik Akademie (Berlin, Munich, Erlangen)
 State-recognized private school within the corporation
 Some state funding, slots „ordered“ and financed by
business units of Siemens (remaining tuition and fees)
 State-recognized qualification („Associate Engineer“)

Traditional approach to technical education:
Theory First – synthesis last
Mechatronic system
exercises
for single
components
Theory of electrical
components, principles
voltage current resistance laws
Fundamentals
Bottom-up approach:
Build the theoretical foundation first

System Approach: Overall Picture First
• Practical example – based on real system
• Learning within the system
• Complete mechatronic system is the focal point
• Select a module of a system
• Examine functionality of the module
• Select a component of the module
• Examine functionality of the component
• Learn theoretical principles of the component
• Handle with characteristics, limit values, datasheets for the component
• Evaluate sources of errors connected with the component
• Ability to measure the component - mechanical and electrical (theory, real system)
• Independent learning e.g. Pspice/Matlab simulation of an electrical subsystem
• Experience in troubleshooting strategies – simulation
• Action oriented troubleshooting strategies in the real system
• Mechatronic system
