About the programme
Today, masters in engineering need theoretical and practical knowledge of design, regardless of whether they are designing small or large. Design is required in all areas of mechanical engineering, and contemporary digital tools make design an exciting experience. The design has a theoretical background, and digital tools bring design methods and processes to the edge of contemporary engineering work.
The Digital Design specialisation track educates professionals with theoretical understanding and practical skills in designing, analysing and optimising products, structures and systems.
You will learn measurement, modelling, analysis, optimisation and design methodology of structures, machines and systems. In addition to theoretical knowledge and practical skills of design in mechanical engineering, the Digital Design specialisation track will support development of your suitable personal and social competencies.
Digital Design is one of the three specialisation tracks of the Master’s Degree Programme in Mechanical Engineering. The other specialisation tracks are:
- Smart Systems
- and Digital Manufacturing.
