Mechanical Engineering comprises a full spectrum of applications. Practical research and development are integral to the curriculum in Mechanical Engineering. Product Development and Production teaches the fundamental principles of methodical product development processes. The goal is to learn how to develop a new integrated approach based on classic design methodology. This major enables graduates to systematically support engineering teams throughout the product development process. In the focal point of product development and production are robotic systems in particular service robots and the methods associated in order to achieve a target oriented development of such complex mechatronic systems.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers sound and sophisticated education in product planning, prototype development and study, and actual production. The Centre of Energy provides an interdisciplinary platform for energy technology and solutions in energy technology from a single source. Germany has the best railway network in the world and offers with its high-speed ICE technology a comprehensive approach towards public transportation. Rail Systems Engineering combines effective design principles with the latest technologies and infrastructure design.
