Descriptions
Studies in the Mechanical Engineering Degree Programme aim to provide students with the skills for machinery and metal technology-based tasks related to machine design, manufacturing and production technology or automation.
The programme emphasises practical orientation, user-centred approach, learning by doing, problem-solving skills, collaboration skills, in-depth knowledge of professional subjects as well as internationalisation. The optional courses support multidisciplinarity and ensure that graduates in mechanical engineering have a solid and applied understanding of their field.
The programme's specialisation options are:
Materials and Surface engineering
Development
The curriculum is developed in cooperation with businesses and industry. The main content of the curriculum is discussed at the meetings of the Degree Programme Advisory Board.

Objective
A graduate from the Mechanical Engineering Degree Programme knows how machines operate, how to design their components and how to automate them, taking into account the principles of business economics.
The mechanical engineer knows the essential properties of materials and surfaces for their technical use and is able to select materials and surfaces for their intended use.
The mechanical engineer understands the interrelationship between materials and manufacturing technology and vehicle manufacturers' instructions for body repair and painting.
Mechanical engineers are well versed in green transition topics and have the skills to build future-proof, sustainable economy and growth in an ecological, fossil-free and resource-efficient way.
A mechanical engineer will have good communication, interpersonal, international and economic skills.
