Course programme
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
- Engineering Thermodynamics
- Design Engineering
- Life Cycle Analyses
- Manufacturing Systems
In your second year, you explore in depth the themes Resilience & Maintenance and Technology for Healthcare. The projects are concrete, have a high social impact and require innovative solutions. How do you design a device such that the consumer keeps it rather than discarding it quickly? How to design universal prostheses on a large scale? These are just a few examples of issues you tackle.
Subjects- Mathematics: Differential Equations
