BA/BS in Mechanical Systems Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering looks beyond the machine itself and considers how it fits within wider systems. Students learn mechanical engineering together with design engineering, control engineering and electrical and electronic engineering, so they can judge how a machine meets both environmental conditions and user needs. The programme is organised around six research fields: strength of materials, thermal and fluid systems, mechanical control, measurement and electrical control, aerospace engineering, and robotics. Students strengthen their knowledge through many experiments and practical exercises, learning systematically and through direct experience at the same time. Graduates are prepared to design optimal systems for society and apply them in areas such as automobiles, aircraft, industrial equipment and robotics. They work in general companies, private research bodies, education and public organisations.
