Quality comparison of qualification processes for mechatronics technicians: Phase II
Initiation of an educational cooperation between Germany and the USA – binational comparative study on the training of mechatronics technicians in the automotive industry.
Phase II concentrates on the concretization of the discussion that a binational comparative study in the form of a benchmark is further detailed and carried through. It will be aimed to identify the conformities and the differences in the training of car mechatronics in the automotive industry in both countries. Another question to clarify is whether any differences in the training quality could be identified. The methodological approach for the comparison is based on comparative indicators. They will be identified based on the work requirements in the automotive industry as well as on curricular targets.
