Focus Specialization

The development of mechanical structures for the design of machines or vehicles is often a focal point in the professional life of mechanical engineers. This focus specialization teaches the fundamentals of calculating and assessing the mechanical integrity, deformation behavior, and dynamics of mechanical structures. It also provides a broad specialist understanding of various manufacturing methods is taught.

Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Dennis Kochmann

Technology is increasingly used in modern medicine. This focus teaches technical and biological fundamentals and provides insights into their applications - for example, in cell biological mechanisms, bio-inspired materials or medical micro-robots. You will also learn how engineering disciplines such as mechanics and thermodynamics can be applied to biological systems.

Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Bradley Nelson

In this focus, you will learn the basics of micro- and nanotechnology. Sensors and actuators are, to a certain extent, the sensory organs of technical systems. Whether in automotive engineering or aerospace, in medical technology or in the energy sector, in robotics or in production technology, microsystems and nanomaterials are used everywhere.

Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Christofer Hierold

The interdisciplinary field of Robotics, Systems and Control combines computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. It includes the construction of intelligent robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles.
