Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is about inventing, designing and realizing machines, instruments, constructions and processes. It is a broad field with great social relevance. As a mechanical engineer, you create, design and realize new products and production processes. You also improve existing technologies. In doing so, you use the latest scientific insights and practical applications in the field of technology and automation. The bachelor Mechanical Engineering combines a great deal of subjects from mathematics, physics and chemistry. You study disciplines such as heat and flow, mechanics, dynamics, control theory and material properties. Around 30% of the major Mechanical Engineering contains so-called Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) projects. During these projects, you tackle real-life issues together with your project group and you are encouraged to apply your technical knowledge to solve these cases. In addition, you practice your professional skills such as presenting, deliberating and collaborating. In addition, as a future mechanical engineer, you are not only expected to have technological knowledge but also great creativity and innovative capacity. Since you will play a pivotal role in a project team of experts from various subject areas, you will be educated to be project-oriented during your studies and work in various project teams.

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a research university specializing in engineering science and technology, founded in 1956. Located in the Brainport region, it collaborates closely with high-tech industry partners.
