“…The main goal of the above design was to develop a curricula which would enable a mechatronics graduate to be conversant with business issues, and appreciate these in the context of the implementation of mechatronics technologies. Furthermore, ethics was included as a mandatory subject for the curriculum (Kopacek and Hersh, 2015). Very few engineering and technology undergraduate programmes in the western hemisphere incorporate ethics as a major subject so that this is a relatively new approach.…”

Process – and manufacturing automation as well as robotics are currently one of the fast growing fields in automation. Advanced process control, cyber-physical systems, industry 4.0 and “advanced robots” are no longer a headline. They are in realization. As a consequence of these developments new social, ethical and human questions appear. Therefore this contribution is a first report about the continuous “modernization” of the Mechatronics Management BSc and MSc programs which are successful running at UBT. Both programs were developed in the framework of two TEMPUS projects from an international consortium from 2006 to 2009. Since that time new “buzzwords” appears. For a contemporary education of the participants these new subjects have to be included in the curricula.

“…[7,8] The demand for electric power, which is the basic needs of life, increases exponentially with the evergrowing population. [9,10] Based on the materials usage, technology, and their efficiencies, the available solar cells are classified into three generations, in which silicon solar cells are termed as first generation photovoltaic devices (wafer-based technology). [7,11] Even though silicon is commercially available and traditional material for photovoltaic, the extraction of silicon from SiO 2 is a tedious process and it increases the cost of devices.…”

Although the efficiency of Dye‐sensitized and Perovskite solar cell is still below the performance level of market dominance silicon solar cells, in last few years they have grabbed significant attention because of their fabrication ease using low‐cost materials, and henceforth these cells are considered as a promising alternative to commercial photovoltaic devices. However, third generation solar cells have significant absorption in the visible region of solar spectrum, which confines their power conversion efficiency. Subsequently, the performance of current photovoltaics is significantly hampered by the transmission loss of sub‐band‐gap photons. To overcome these issues, rare earth doped luminescent materials is the favorable route followed to convert these transmitted sub‐band‐gap photons into above‐band‐gap light, where solar cells typically have significant light‐scattering effects. Moreover, the rare earth based down/up conversion material facilitates the improvement in sensitization, light‐scattering and device stability of these devices. This review provides insight into the application of various down/up conversion materials for Dye‐sensitized and perovskite solar cell applications. Additionally, the paper discusses the techniques to improve the photovoltaic performance in terms of current density and photo voltage in detail.
