Course overview

Year 1

You will get to know the  exciting and multi-faceted world of mechanical engineering by following courses such as Product Analysis, Applied Mechanics, Energy Technology, Materials Engineering and Manufacturing Technology. You will follow courses like Professionals Skills to develop you so called 'soft skills'. Besides the theory, you will be involved in practical lessons in the lab and work on projects. You will design your own product and focus on system analysis. You will also get an introduction to the operation of small systems, such as combustion engines. Lastly, you will learn about drives and installations.
