History
2009 | MZH established as official research centre of the Leibniz Universität Hannover |
since 2007 | MZH’s main fields of research |
until 2007 | Fields of activity and MZH research projects, e.g.: |
2004/2005 | Start of the Bachelor/Master study course Mechatronics • Until end of 2007 more than 250 short and diploma theses at the MZH (mechanical + electrical engineering) • Winter term 2007/2008: 75 starters (Bachelor), 10 starters (Master) • Even share of the Faculty of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science |
2000 | Official inauguration of the MZH Goal/tasks: • Mechatronics research work concerning "service robots" (MZH members/institutes bring their know-how into cooperation projects) • Acquisition of mechatronics research projects (third-party funds) • Conclusion of framework contracts with partners in industry • Execution of graduate classes • Support of the Mechatronics study course • Coordination/documentation |
1999 | MZH foundation members |
1999 | Execution of the "1st graduate class Mechatronics" • Until 2007: more than 40 instructors |
1998 | Innovation offensive of the Land of Lower Saxony: |
1996-2003 | DFG research unit "High-speed Machine Tool" |
1994 | New subject „Mechatronics” in the study course Electrical Engineering • Compulsory electives catalogues containing subjects from both the Mechanical Engineering and the Electrical Engineering course • New: Mechatronics Master lab (Mechanical + Electrical Engineering) |
1993 | New subject „Mechatronics" in the study course Mechanical Engineering |
1993 | DFG proposal for the research unit "High-speed Machine Tool" Reseach contents: magnetic bearing, parallel guidance etc. MZH foundation institutes: • IFW – Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools (Prof. Tönshoff) • IFM – Institute of Mechanics (Prof. Popp) • IRT – Institute of Automatic Control (Prof. Gerth) |
