About this programme
Mechanical Engineering for Industrial Systems (MEfIS) is a four-semester Master's degree program me for Bachelor's graduates with a solid background in mechanical engineering and a strong interest in the industrial research, development and implementation of mechanical engineering related challenges . A total of 120 ECTS CPs must be acquired. One of three possible specialisations must be selected during the application process. “Industrial Drive Technology”: Drive technology plays a role wherever things move – from machine tools and agricultural machinery to wind power. Drive technology is one of the largest industrial sectors in Germany. The specialisation therefore offers the best prerequisites for a successful career in R&D in one of the more than 250 drive technology companies, including many hidden champions, in Germany. You will receive excellent qualifications for simulating complex drive systems and will be able to develop analysis and design methods for new tasks. "Advanced Mechanics for Digital Engineering": The programme provides comprehensive knowledge in mechanical modelling, numerical methods, and the simulation of digital twins. Students learn to mathematically describe and analyse complex systems through simulations. Additionally, they develop skills in optimisation, parameter identification, and programming. These skills qualify graduates for roles in research and development, simulation and modelling, automation, digital product design, and smart manufacturi
