By choosing this specialization, students acquire in-depth knowledge of all material classes relevant to engineering, including metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. The focus is on the selection of materials and their targeted processing in order to create customized properties. Skills in the simulation of material microstructures, fluid dynamics and material properties are also taught. Topics such as the mechanics of materials and surfaces, surface technology, modern methods of material characterization and measurement, ceramic materials for functional and structural applications, high-temperature alloys and additive manufacturing play a central role.

These skills enable students to use engineering approaches with modern materials to solve social challenges such as climate change, the circular economy and resource efficiency.

The specialization in Energy is the best choice for those who want to pursue a future career in an ever-expanding and increasingly important sector.

Students acquire in-depth knowledge of technologies and principles that enable the sustainable transition to renewable energies. The module provides an overview of various engineering contributions to this transition and enables students to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of the technologies and evaluate their application to specific tasks. After completing the module, students will be able to compare different technologies depending on the selected topics and describe their suitability for specific tasks, apply physical and thermodynamic principles to analyze energy technologies, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies and assess their role within an energy system.

Production management is a vital key to the operation of companies. This specialization opens doors to countless career opportunities, including the hands-on training program SmartFactory∂Industry.

Students learn about production planning and control, production logistics, distribution centers, the optimization of logistical networks, material flow processes and project management. The evaluation of methods in terms of technical and economic aspects and virtual product development processes (product lifecycle management) are also important.

The Mobility Systems specialization offers students the opportunity to develop pioneering solutions for global mobility challenges. From electric cars to high-speed trains - shape the mobility of tomorrow!

Students develop an awareness of people's global mobility needs and how these will be met by technical systems over time. They acquire in-depth knowledge of motorized vehicles for ground-based transport, such as cars, trucks, buses, rail vehicles, streetcars, subway trains, agricultural and forestry vehicles and commercial vehicles. They also deepen their knowledge of driving mechanics, drive concepts, torque conversion and central vehicle components. After successfully completing the program, graduates will be able to derive requirements for vehicles in relation to specific mobility systems, evaluate concepts and design central components and systems composed of them.
