Course programme

Curriculum
First year

In the first year, you are familiarised with key themes in mechanical engineering. Our project-based education revolves around a different theme every semester. In the first year, these are Smart Manufacturing and Energy Transition & Sustainability. You follow courses relevant to your current project and learn to create designs in an academic setting. For example, working with your fellow students, you investigate how to make nuclear power plants more sustainable.

Subjects
  • Mathematics: Linear Algebra
  • Introduction to Mechanical Engineering
  • Statics
  • Mechanics of Materials
  • Materials Science: Metals and Alloys
  • Manufacturing 1
  • Mathematics: Calculus
  • Renewable Engineering Technology
