Mechanical engineering deals with the development, construction and operation of plants, machines and technical products of all kinds over their complete life cycle. Due to the wide range of requirements, the Bachelor's degree program teaches the fundamental content from all the main engineering sub-disciplines. These include: Mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, production engineering, electrical engineering, design theory and machine elements. The bachelor's degree qualifies students for direct entry into a profession. However, our declared educational goal is the master's degree. For this reason, a master's degree is available to all bachelor's students.
With lectures and exercises in advanced mathematics and basic programming training, the foundations are laid for the essential engineering sub-disciplines in mechanical engineering. From the fifth semester onwards, students can set their own focus and choose one of the seven fields of competence Product Development, Automotive Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Production Engineering, Computational Engineering, Applied Computer Science as well as Mechatronics and Automation Engineering in order to further deepen their knowledge according to their own interests and to lay the foundations for the offered Master's programs of the same name. Knowledge can be deepened or extended beyond the boundaries of one's own field of competence via further elective modules. At the same time, acquired knowledge and skills are also applied and deepened in practice during sixteen weeks of specialized internship. The Bachelor's thesis provides initial insights into scientific work and concludes the course of study.
Admission to the studies requires a basic internship of 6 weeks. The internship must be proven by the end of the 6th semester at the latest. Since there is relatively little time for the basic internship during your studies, it is strongly recommended that you complete it before your studies.
