Mechanical Engineering for Industrial Systems
RPTU University of Kaiserslautern
Program Overview
Mechanical Engineering for Industrial Systems (MEfIS) is a four-semester Master's degree program me for Bachelor's graduates with a solid background in mechanical engineering and a strong interest in the industrial research, development and implementation of mechanical engineering related challenges . A total of 120 ECTS CPs must be acquired. One of three possible specialisations must be selected during the application process. “Industrial Drive Technology”: Drive technology plays a role wherever things move – from machine tools and agricultural machinery to wind power. Drive technology is one of the largest industrial sectors in Germany. The specialisation therefore offers the best prerequisites for a successful career in R&D in one of the more than 250 drive technology companies, including many hidden champions, in Germany. You will receive excellent qualifications for simulating complex drive systems and will be able to develop analysis and design methods for new tasks. "Advanced Mechanics for Digital Engineering": The programme provides comprehensive knowledge in mechanical modelling, numerical methods, and the simulation of digital twins. Students learn to mathematically describe and analyse complex systems through simulations. Additionally, they develop skills in optimisation, parameter identification, and programming. These skills qualify graduates for roles in research and development, simulation and modelling, automation, digital product design, and smart manufacturing. "Digital Production Technologies": Providing comprehensive knowledge and skills in the field of digital production technologies, including digital modelling, process simulation, sustainable manufacturing and the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies in the production area such as digital twins to meet industrial needs The Mechanical Engineering for Industrial Systems degree programme prepares you for the largest sectors of German industry: Drive Technology and Production Machinery. In designing the specialisations, we have consistently focused on the current and future needs of industry. A successful degree will qualify you for positions in large companies or in German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with their many hidden champions.
