High education concept in applied systems design

Increasing complexity of industrial development and production require a well-designed didactic approach in challenging study fields in engineering. Such concepts can be reasonably applied to study programs in Master education due to the necessary prior knowledge in technical disciplines. Conventional teaching of the subject matter is normally related to one teacher and his field of study that often leads to a restricted view on the topic. Therefore, an essential element of our concept is the connection of different aspects of a problem and a close coordination between the involved professors. In this paper, we will report about a combined course in physics, control engineering, programming and practical implementation (lab) to show and teach the students a systematical procedure solving complex tasks. This is a typical demand of the industry, consisting of theory, modelling, simulation, implementation, measurement, data evaluation and verification. Based on a concrete example, the lecture concept is presented and discussed.
