The course is structured around the following pedagogical objectives:
• to enable participants to use micromachining and additive technologies for efficient prototyping;
• to present advanced micromachining and additive manufacturing techniques and their fields of application;
• to apply these technologies to prototyping and design optimization;
• to provide hands-on practice with industry tools and equipment.

Participants will gain practical experience in moving from virtual design to physical prototype using micromachining and additive manufacturing. The course prepares participants for roles in precision engineering, prototyping and high-tech manufacturing.

The course is structured around the following pedagogical objectives:
• to develop an understanding of the overlapping and distinct applications of mechatronics and robotics;
• to present the core principles of system integration in mechatronic and robotic systems;
• to introduce core technologies such as MATLAB and Arduino for designing and controlling such systems;
• to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application through hands-on examples.

Participants will learn to create sophisticated mechatronic and robotic systems by combining mechanical, electronic and control components. The course prepares participants for careers in automation, smart systems and robotic design.
