Programme profile


As a Mechanical Engineer, you can work on improving and optimising existing technology and processes, but many mechanical engineers also come up with and design new products. This can be on a smaller or larger scale, from a 3D-printer to a container ship or an energy plant. Mechanical engineers are involved in almost every product design you can think of: wherever people or organisations are in need of high-tech solutions, you can pitch in.

During this programme, you will learn to apply fundamental knowledge in socially relevant solutions. Connecting theory and practice is central to our programme. One way in which we do this is working on projects. In a project, you will work with a team of fellow students on applying the theory you have learned in classes and lectures. For example, you might design an energy-efficient ice-skating rink or a garbage-collecting vehicle for festival grounds. Together with your team you will go through the whole process of conception and design. And sometimes you even get to build a working prototype. Theory, practice and social impact go hand in hand in this programme.

Programme content


During the first year you will lay a broad foundation in disciplines such as mathematics & modelling, mechanics & materials, design & manufacturing and thermodynamics & life-cycle assessment.

In the second year you go deeper into subjects like dynamics, surface technology, light weight materials, fluid dynamics and systems and control technology.

The third year of the Mechanical Engineering programme consists of electives (minor) and your graduation assignment
