Specialization

Choice of Specialization in the Bachelor Program Mechanical Engineering B.Eng.

6 Fields of specialisation

Students in the bachelor's program Mechanical Engineering have to choose one of the six specializations by the 4th semester (full-time program) or, respectively, by 6th semester (in the part-time program). Thus, they can set a focus on new technologies:

Students of the Bachelor's degree programme in Mechanical Engineering must decide on a specialisation in the 4th semester and set thus a focus on new technologies.

The following six specialisations are available:

Additive manufacturing
Energy technology
Product development and design
Product development and production
Production Management and Digitalisation
Robotics

Each specialisation is defined by 4 compulsory elective modules, which together with the 2 arbitrary elective modules result in a total of 36 credit points (LP). The specialisation is not chosen directly. By selecting the compulsory elective modules, students indirectly choose a specialisation.

4 Elective modules

If you decide on one of the above-mentioned specialisations, you must take the 4 compulsory elective modules that this specialisation contains. The registration for the examinations in the compulsory elective modules clearly shows which specialisation has been chosen.

2 Arbitrary elective modules

In addition to these 4 compulsory elective modules, 2 elective modules must be completed. For these two elective modules, the examination regulations contain 6 elective module recommendations per specialisation. However, students can choose from the entire elective module catalogue, i.e. they can:

either select 2 elective modules from the 6 arbitrary elective modules recommended for a specific specialisation
or you can choose two elective modules from another specialisation
or one elective module from each of two specialisations.
