Focus Specialization

Objectives

The Focus Specialization in Design, Mechanics and Materials is a general Mechanical Engineering specialization, thus optimally bridging the Bachelor and Master Curriculum. It aims to broaden and strengthen the main fundamentals in Mechanical Engineering by introducing state-of-the art methods and tools for the design, analysis, simulation, optimization and evaluation of modern mechanical and mechatronic systems.

General Description

The design definition and evaluation of mechanical and mechatronic systems is one of the main tasks of a mechanical engineer. In 2012, four new colleagues joined the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering, strengthening the areas of Engineering Design, Product Development, Mechanics of Materials and Nonlinear Mechanics. This newly revised focus offers a selection of tailored courses covering the main aspects related to the design, analysis, simulation and evaluation of mechanical and mechatronic systems as well as their production.

Students can freely select five courses among the list of offered courses, which are summarized in the following Table. Several courses from the Master program can already be taken in the Focus Specialization. Those courses are marked with an asterisk.

Bachelor Theses provide students with the possibility to extend and apply acquired basic knowledge in exciting projects related to current research topics and/or industry cooperation of the individual professors involved in this Focus.
