About this programme
The Master's degree programme targets students with a Bachelor's degree in an Engineering discipline or Computer Science. The course of study imparts comprehensive knowledge for the development, construction and operation of complex technical products as well as systems to be found in industrial engineering or in the automotive industry. The degree programme provides important competences for the realisation of both academic research and advanced industrial development. Unique to this course is high share of project work, which will prepare the students for special challenges of interdisciplinary work. Many projects offer collaborations with world leading industrial partners or research institutes. Another significant focus of the programme is on human interaction while working in interdisciplinary engineering teams and the management of such teams.
Students will take modules in computer science, both basic and advanced, as well as engineering subjects. Subjects in the field of digital engineering to procure professional knowledge of current technological developments as they appear through the use of technologies such as virtual and expanded reality, integrated product development, etc. Soft skill courses and projects complete the degree. Specialised lectures will be offered on certain domains of application (e.g. process engineering, logistics, mechatronics, power engineering, medical engineering, etc.) on the one hand, and on technological domains (e.g. visualisation technology, interaction, interoperability, security, reliability, etc.) on the other hand. The course also includes projects for gaining practical experience in applying computer science methods in the engineering domain and vice versa. Soft skill modules aid in developing the necessary academic writing and methodological skills for successfully completing a Master's degree. Master's thesis: The scientific thesis will be written on a current topic in digital engineering. Ideally, it can be based on the research work performed in the third semester.
