Course Overview
In semester 1 to 4 you will learn the fundamentals in mathematics, technical mechanics, material science, thermodynamics … . You acquire profound broad and deep knowledge in nature and engineering science and competences to apply scientific methods. Afterwards, in semesters 5 and 6, students create their own study plan and can choose a specialization (e. g. medical engineering, robotics, automotive engineering, energy technology, management, aviation) or deepen their engineering scientific expertise intersectorial. This means you are able to put together your individual study plan relating to your personal interests by selecting teaching sessions from an extensive study catalogue. After that you are able to work together in an interdisciplinary team, to do research and to apply methods in practice. For a comprehensive description of the program, please refer to the degree program documentation: Degree program documentation for the Bachelor’s program in Mechanical Engineering (PDF, German) After completing the foundation courses, you will be able to understand the essential concepts of mathematics, physics, chemistry an technical electric science, to describe relevant processes both qualitatively and mathematically quantitatively, and to use laws and formulas to define problems, to use this fundamental knowledge in engineering-specific basic subjects, such as technical mechanics, technical drawings, machine elements and information technology in order to formulate and solve mechanical questions (e. g. determine and analyze real-time systems for specific control systems, develop solutions for the construction of parts which are suitable for production, stress and assembly, modelling of uncertainties) to use methods from material science, control engineering, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transmission, control engineering (e. g. selection of suitable materials, analyze and evaluate the system in view of the heat transmission, describe, analyze and configure dynamically active influenced systems) Depending on the individually chosen courses in the 5th and 6th semester, you will be able to apply the specific methods and to possibly use independently developed solutions in practice (e. g. application of mechanisms of industrial realtime bus- and operating systems, characterization of novel electrical concepts in vehicles, development and evaluation of thermal solar collectors and photovoltaic systems, …).
