This study program offers studies in one of several areas of industrial practice in the field of design and calculation of machines, their structural nodes, and components. These mainly include production machines; earthmoving, mining, and construction machines; transport and material handling, etc. An integral part of the program is also machine drives, from mechanical and electrical to hydraulic and pneumatic drive units.
The entire study program is highly specialized and applies the latest knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering in line with the needs of industry. State-of-the-art procedures and optimization methods are used in designs and calculations. Working with modern 3D CAD applications and FEM systems is a matter of course. Students will design machines and machine parts with regard to load-bearing capacity and required service life. Graduates will learn to master these tools at a professional level as designers or calculators in all fields of mechanical engineering.
