The degree programme is additionally offered as a work- integrated variant.Combining elements from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, the programme enables students toenhance technical systems’ performanceduring their development and production. In addition, they will learn how to bring complex technical systems into operation, to service and optimise them. To round off the training, strongproject management skillsand successful teamwork, also in international teams, are imparted. As part of the programme, students complete a mandatory internship in a company, making it possible for them togain practical experienceand allowing for a smooth start to their careers.As the programme is taught in English, intercultural aspects are embedded into its contents and students from different cultural backgrounds work together, students are enabled to work in international company projects in an increasingly globalised world.
