چکیده
This article presents a summary result of the survey on the need for mechatronics education. The study was conducted as a cooperation project between two teams established at two universities: AGH-UST from Poland and University of Stavanger (UiS) from Norway. Both companies and High School Pupils are surveyed in this project, but only feedbacks from the former are analyzed in this article. As a result of the declining interest for engineering and science education in general and mechatronics education in particular, the project is intended to work out an International Curriculum for mechatronics education that can stimulate pupils for science and technology fields as well as to encourage students in engineering education. The field of mechantronics has been focused because this field, as a new and multidisciplinary area, has a high potential to integrate topics that are necessary for modern engineering industries and can provide graduates in a multi-skill and knowledge.
