Learning problems and solutions for mechatronic and basic of automation production in mechanical engineering and industrial design studies

Mechanics and design specialties students with insufficient background in IT and electronics, and with limited training time learning mechatronics basic, great attention should be given relevant content to laboratory work and organization. The best learning outcomes can be achieved by training laboratories with mechatronic equipment control programs using graphical programming languages. Working with Festo Didactic developed or similar educational laboratory's stands it is good to use the PLC programming language CODESYS, or used for this purpose FluidSIM software, Grafcet and interface device EasyPort back. Great creative freedom for students in practical classes can provide programmable construction toys such as Fischertechnik products. On this technical basis created models quality can be improved by including individual elements, created with 3D printing technology. For programming such mockup can be used visual programming with ROBO Pro software. By making reforming in the education system, Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design studies could plan higher achievement of the objectives in the field of mechatronics.
