MASTER MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SPECIALISATIONS
MECHANICAL ENGINEERS FOCUS ON DESIGN, ANALYSES AND MAINTENANCE OF MACHINERY, STRUCTURES AND PRODUCTS AS WELL AS PRODUCTION PROCESSES.
Inside the master programme of Mechanical engineering you can find two specialitations that focus heavily on sustainability, looking at the future challenges that await mechanical engineering and the industry.
SPECIALISATION IN ENERGY AND FLOW
The Energy and Flow specialisation focusses on the engineering and research areas crucial for the transition to a resilient and sustainable society: The development of sustainable energy systems, processes, and equipment with high performance, and minimal environmental impact. This requires a multidisciplinary approach involving fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, advanced materials, acoustics, sustainable design, and economics.
SPECIALISATION IN MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING AND OPERATIONS
What does it take to ensure the availability, reliability and cost-effectiveness of technical systems? How can we analyse failure behaviour and improve performance by (re-)engineering and optimizing maintenance strategies and concepts? How can we use new technologies to monitor an installation’s structural health and condition and optimise the resources required for maintenance? Or to extend the lifecycles of assets, thus improving their economic performance and sustainability?
