Diplom in Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering degree program prepares you for the fascinating world of technical innovation. You’ll learn to design, calculate, and build complex machines and systems—always with an eye toward efficiency, sustainability, and cutting-edge technologies. From the initial idea to the finished product, you’ll develop the ability to find creative solutions to the technical challenges of our time.

Acquire Versatile Skills

In the Mechanical Engineering program, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge in these key areas:

• Design and development of technical systems and components
• Modern manufacturing technology and optimized production processes
• Energy-efficient machines and sustainable processes
• Materials science and innovative material applications
• Simulation, calculation, and optimization of mechanical systems
• Automation technology and digital production methods

You’ll learn how machines and systems work, how to design them optimally, and how modern production systems operate efficiently. Through specialization options in the fields of engineering design or production engineering, you can delve deeper into your personal interests. This practice-oriented program, featuring lab experiments, projects, and a practical semester, provides you not only with theoretical knowledge but also with valuable hands-on experience. Your Diplom in the 8th semester rounds out your studies with a challenging project.

The Mechanical Engineering diplom degree course guides you step by step from fundamental engineering knowledge to specialized expertise. In the first semesters, the focus is on mathematics, physics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials science—these fundamentals form the foundation for all subsequent technical subjects.

Starting in the fourth semester, you’ll deepen your knowledge in the core areas of Mechanical Engineering, such as design engineering, machine elements, and quality management. You’ll spend the fifth semester as an internship semester at a company, where you’ll gain your first professional experience and build professional contacts. In the later semesters, you’ll choose between the specialization tracks of engineering design or production engineering. While the engineering design specialization focuses on topics such as structural dynamics and machine design, the Production Engineering specialization covers material flow engineering, industrial robots, and advanced manufacturing processes. Numerous required-elective modules also allow you to set your own individual areas of focus.
