In this program, you will learn how modern machines and systems are developed – from the initial concept to design to manufacturing. You will calculate component specifications, select materials and ensure quality assurance and efficient production. Smart technologies and AI have made their way into Mechanical Engineering just as much as environmental technology (GreenTech), particularly recycling technology and circular economy. Even as the demand for cross-disciplinary skills among mechanical engineers is increasing (for example software or automation), they remain in high demand on the job market.
