Description

As a mechanical engineer, you will help develop innovative, industrial products that can help ensure a sustainable future. You will learn, in creative and systematic ways, to design and control machines for, for example, robot-based production systems. In mechanical engineering, you will learn to plan and carry out projects, while at the same time gain an understanding of the design of industrial products.

About the Programme

The Bachelor of Engineering includes half a year’s internship in Denmark or abroad. The degree is vocationally oriented meaning that after 3½ years you will be ready to enter the job market. The degree will also qualify you to continue your studies and take a Master of Science in Engineering. The programme is taught in English. The study programme is based on themes providing coherence between your courses and your project.

Every semester is based on a main theme:

• Discover the mechanical development process
• Design and build mechanical products
• Manufacture and Operate Mechanical Systems
• Cooling-heating and Power Conversion Systems
• Experts in Team innovation/Innovation/specialisation
• The engineering internship
• Final project
