Education

The department of Mechanical Engineering offers one Bachelor’s program and several Master’s programs. With these programs the department provides education to approximately 2.100 students. Since eduation and research are closely linked, students contribute directly to the research of the department.

The Mechanical Engineering Bachelor's program is part of the Bachelor College of TU/e and consists of a broad disciplinary basis and five major learning lines in Mathematics, Design and Manufacturing and a learning line related to each of the three research clusters (Computational and Experimental Mechanics, Dynamical Systems Design and Thermo Fluids Engineering). These research themes are also the internationally recognized subdisciplines of mechanical engineering.

The department Mechanical Engineering offers several master’s programs. The Mechanical Engineering Graduate Program is part of the Graduate School of TU/e, and incorporates the ME Master and PhD program.

Additionally, the department offers the following interdepartmental master's programs: Automotive Technology (AT), Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion, Systems and Control (S&C) and Sustainable Energy Technology (SET). These programs are multidisciplinary programs in which multiple departments are involved in terms of contribution to the courses. This table shows which departments are involed in the programs.
