In the Option of Production Engineering a special attention is given to the basics of competitiveness development of manufacturing companies. Focuses of the option include economical manufacturing of a good quality product, modern construction and use of production machines and systems as well as efficient operation and rational collaboration with cooperation partners. Basic skills in industrial maintenance and in different fields of logistics complement the graduates' production engineering skills. A project work period of one term in industry strengthens the combination of theory and practice.The degree programme is versatile and the studies are carried out in close cooperation with different companies of the region and with other educational organisations. In addition to the basic and professional studies in mechanical engineering, students deepen their professional skills by taking additional studies of his/her own degree programme or that of another degree programme or university/university of applied sciences. At the final stage of the studies a Bachelor¿s Thesis, commissioned mainly by industy, is written. The education prepares the graduates for team and project work.
