Mechanical engineering deals with questions such as
- How are modern production systems structured?
- How can modern production technologies be implemented in complex process chains?
- How can production systems be developed more sustainably?
- How can the wings of commercial aircraft be optimized?
Modern product development from an environmental perspective
In addition to the efficient use of machines and the environmentally friendly and resource-saving production of components, the continuous further development of materials is also an important factor in modern production. In modern product development
shortening development times and the associated cost reduction is an increasingly important component of modern product development. Computer simulations can provide fast and meaningful results and optimizations can be carried out in a targeted manner. Due to the increasing scarcity of resources, especially fossil fuels, and social change, companies will be increasingly dependent on qualified engineers in the fields of energy and environmental technology in the future.
Customize your studies with elective modules
In addition to expanding your core engineering skills with the modules Mathematics, Thermodynamics and Fluid Dynamics as well as Systems Theory, you can design your studies according to your personal inclinations and interests in the first two semesters through compulsory and compulsory elective modules. The specializations Production Engineering, Product Development and Simulation as well as Mechanical, Energy and Environmental Engineering are available to you for this purpose.
Interdisciplinary thinking and teamwork are encouraged in working groups and projects. As part of the Master's project, you will acquire practical management skills in the Management Skills module.
Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) that qualifies you for management positions
You will write your Master's thesis in the third semester in cooperation with industry or within the university in our laboratory facilities. After successfully completing the course, you will graduate with a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree.
The Master's in Mechanical Engineering is unique because
In times of climate change and rising energy requirements, the focus is increasingly shifting to efficient production processes and environmentally conscious systems.
