Abstract	The design of mechatronic systems is still a challenging task. As different engineering disciplines have to be considered and coordi- nated during the design process, an independent and isolated view on discipline-specific tools, model data and activities is not appropriate any- more. So, the integration of these aspects for improved collaboration is still a remaining task in industry and research. Former research have already developed first solutions each directing into the integration of distinct aspects among the involved disciplines. This paper claims that a comprehensive view on the different aspects can bring significant benefits for the design of mechatronic systems. In detail, it presents an approach which combines interdisciplinary system modeling with design activity management by describing and integrating these aspects on metalevel. This integration leads automatically to enhanced possibilities for design activity coordination and monitoring.
