The objective of the Degree Programme in Mechanical Engineering is to train engineers that, in addition to mechanical engineering skills, have a good knowledge of information technology and product development, basic knowledge of company logistics and expenditures as well as the command of foreign languages required in this profession.The engineers also have to meet the needs of the people involved in technological applications. The graduates work in diverse positions as experts and managers in different fields of industry.
In the Option of Machine Automation Engineering students are educated to understand the design, control and operation of robots in industrial production. Expert duties in industrial machine automation projects require versatile engineering skills, expertise in project work as well as technical and economic understanding. The programme provides the students with excellent skills in product development by utilising modern computer-aided tools such as 3D-modelling and simulation.
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.
