Due to its combination of basic research and the development of manufacturing processes (including production processes), Mechanical Engineering is a typical technical subject. It converts physical laws for the development of technical products and equipment and covers the entire product cycle from research and development to design, calculation, construction, production, maintenance and operation to disposal. The spectrum of products and equipment ranges from individual machine elements through machines and right up to production lines and entire factories of the greatest complexity.
The focus of Mechanical Engineering studies at the TU Ilmenau is on such components and systems where information technology functions are essential. At the same time, teaching covers the entire breadth of the mechanical engineering spectrum. The specific concentration is particularly evident in the fields of precision engineering and technologies, mechatronics, optics and lighting engineering, measurement technology, sensor technology and drive technology, automotive engineering, micro technology and precision engineering, microsystem technology, nanotechnology, engineering design, factory organization, ergonomics, production technology and materials engineering. In their combination, they represent a unique characteristic of Mechanical Engineering training at the TU Ilmenau.
Successful studies lead to the degree “Bachelor of Sience”, which qualifies for a career as well as for a consecutive master’s program.
