Program Overview

MSc Mechanical Engineering: Track High-Tech Engineering

The steady technology development of today pushes the performance of all kinds of equipment for electronics, health care, materials technology, and many other fields to new extremes. To meet the new requirements, mechanical engineering is pushed to extremes in precision, miniaturization, and multi-domain integration both for the products of tomorrow and the equipment to make those products. This requires a science-based engineering approach based on thorough understanding of not only mechanics and dynamics but also aspects such as thermodynamics, mechatronics, optics, and system miniaturization and integration.
