Mechanical engineering, practical semester or semester abroad

The Bachelor's degree course in Mechanical Engineering at Fachhochschule Dortmund provides you with a broad spectrum of engineering knowledge. At the same time, you can tailor your studies to your individual interests through our compulsory and elective modules in the areas of Production Engineering, Product Development and Simulation as well as Mechanical, Energy and Environmental Engineering. We attach great importance to practical and project-oriented teaching and learning methods. Through internships in our state-of-the-art laboratories(Opens in a new tab)  or through real project work in cooperation with companies from industry, we promote your skills in project and process management as well as your teamwork and communication skills. In this way, we prepare you optimally for the demands of professional practice as an engineer.

Production engineering

Production engineering deals with the planning, organization and optimization of production processes in order to manufacture products efficiently and cost-effectively. As part of the compulsory modules, you will attend courses on production engineering, factory organization, quality management and high-tech metals.

Product development and simulation

Product development is a crucial process that involves the creation of new products or the further development of existing products. Computer-aided design (CAD) plays a central role here. As part of the compulsory modules, you will attend courses on the topics of motion and force transmission, fluid and structural mechanics and heat transfer.

Mechanical, energy and environmental engineering

Mechanical, energy and environmental engineering is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the development and application of technologies that make machines more efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable. The compulsory modules include energy, environmental and plant engineering as well as fluid mechanics.

Mechanical engineering is an extremely versatile field that plays a key role in numerous branches of industry and technological applications. A wide range of fascinating fields of application are open to our graduates.

Automotive industry: They play a crucial role in the development of vehicles, from design and production to the continuous improvement of drive systems, car bodies and safety technologies.

Energy supply: In this field, they contribute to the development of efficient energy production methods, whether in conventional energy production, renewable energy technology or the optimization of energy systems.

Robotics and automation: In the advancing world of robotics and automation, mechanical engineers are shaping the future of manufacturing processes, warehouse management systems and autonomous vehicles.

Environmental engineering: As an engineer, you will contribute to the development of environmentally friendly technologies, be it in wastewater treatment, air pollution control or the design of sustainable production processes.

Medical engineering: Innovation in the field of medical devices, prostheses and diagnostic instruments are often the work of mechanical engineering experts who use their skills to improve healthcare.

Design and construction: You play a crucial role in the planning and implementation of construction projects, whether in the field of building technology, infrastructure or bridge and tunnel construction.
