Computational Methods in Mechanical Engineering

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Numerical computation and simulation are integral parts of today's computer-assisted development and computer-aided engineering (CAE) processes. The extremely rapid pace at which new hardware and software is emerging is constantly opening up new fields of application for numerical methods in engineering and has given rise to the subdiscipline of computational engineering. Graduates of this Master's degree course are specialists in numerical and computational methods who apply their expertise in research and in innovative product development processes. This three-semester degree course allows students to put together their own curriculum from catalogues of elective modules. Most modules relate to numerical methods, ranging from the finite element method (FEM) to numerical CFD, multibody simulation, and aspects of engineering physics or fluid-structure interaction. The course extends theoretical knowledge of physics, solid body and fluid mechanics, and theory of materials.
