Mechanical Engineering (Diploma in Engineering)

With the diploma course in mechanical engineering, the TU Ilmenau is offering a continuous course of study from WS 17/18 onwards, leading to the degree of Diplom-Ingenieur*in. This demanding course of study begins with a well-founded mathematical-scientific but at the same time multidisciplinary, basic engineering education. A seminar is offered for each lecture.

After the basic study period of four semesters, the main study period is followed by a specialisation in one of the four main subjects offered:

- Constructive mechanical engineering

- Measuring and sensor technology

- Production Engineering

- Thermo- and fluid dynamics

A special feature of the Ilmenau study model is the freely selectable minor subject study in the scope of one semester, which can also be completed outside the subject and/or at another university institution in Germany or abroad. Further opportunities for a stay abroad are offered by the integrated one-semester engineering internship or the preparation of the diploma thesis in the 10th semester.

The mechanical engineers trained at the TU Ilmenau are characterized by a high level of methodological competence in the technological-constructive field. On the basis of the broad theoretical knowledge and the technical specialisation, the acquired methodological knowledge can be independently applied to complex applications and implemented in value-adding and creative processes.
