An Interdisciplinary and Hands-on Learning Approach for Industrial Assembly Systems

摘要

Planning and realisation of industrial assembly systems is an interdisciplinary task that requires theoretical and experience-based knowledge in diverse fields (e.g. product design, industrial engineering, automation and robotics). In order to develop students’ competences, the Institute of Production Systems introduced the two-step course series “Industrial Assembly”. It combines transfer of interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge lectured by different professorships and hands-on tasks in manual and automated assembly systems training environments with a realistic industrial assembly setting. The paper describes the learning objective and procedure of the course series “Industrial Assembly” and underlines the relevance of this interdisciplinary and hands-on learning approach.
