About the Program
This Master's degree course in Engineering Design and Product Development in Mechanical Engineering helps students acquire key skills needed to tackle complex challenges in product development with a focus on strategic innovation. The program is designed for those who have completed a Bachelor's degree in mechanical or automotive engineering or related disciplines and aim for high-level specialist and management roles in design and product development. The three-semester curriculum offers considerable scope for students to choose individual foci, with required elective modules from two distinct blocks: core modules exploring transdisciplinary topics from engineering and management, and advanced study areas including machine elements and systems, methods and processes in product development, and virtual product development. The course features a high proportion of project work in small groups focusing on industry challenges or ongoing research at HAW Hamburg. The program concludes with a Master's thesis in the third semester, often completed in cooperation with industrial organizations.
