Detailed description of the degree programme

Modern information processing provides capabilities to systems, machinery, vehicles and devices that were considered just a few years ago to be science fiction (Industry 4.0). As a result, there is a growing need for engineers who have not only a knowledge of mechanical engineering, but also applied computer science. IT skills are required for simulation technology and for controlling modern machinery (robots) and processes. At the same time, broad mechanical engineering expertise is required. Our Bachelor programme in Computer Science in Mechanical Engineering combines these two fields.

Objectives

The aim of our degree programme is to train engineers who are able to meet today’s demands in an industrial working environment and to successfully manage projects. After completing the degree programme, you will master the interplay between traditional mechanical engineering and applied computer science, and will be able to develop, manage and enhance the necessary systems.

Occupational fields

After obtaining your degree, you will be able to work in the following fields:

Calculation engineering
Production planning and control
Software design
Robotics
Construction
Research and development
After-sales, customer service
Logistics
Servicing, maintenance
Management, business management
Training and further training
Quality management, quality assurance

In addition, our department offers the following Master’s programmes:

Master in Mechanical Engineering, specialising in Product Design, Computational Engineering, Agricultural Engineering – offered as full-time and part-time programmes.
Master in Business Management in Technology, specialising in Mechanical Engineering

Content and course sequence

At the start of the programme, you will initially gain a basic knowledge of mathematics, science and technology, such as in:

Mathematics
Physics
Statics
Materials Engineering

As the programme progresses, you will take modules that have greater application-oriented content, such as:

Applied Computer Science
IT Project Management
Manufacturing Processes
Digital and Control Engineering
Hydraulics
Control Engineering
Numerical Software
Database Systems

We also offer a range of optional compulsory modules, which will help you to specifically develop your professional profile. Examples include:

Quality Management
Measurement Engineering
Applications in Production Management
Thermodynamics

In the sixth and final semester, you will complete a twelve-week work placement, concluding with a Bachelor thesis.
