About this program
Bachelor in International Mechanical Engineering
Big data, additive manufacturing, electric vehicles, lightweight components and advanced materials have created a new frontier for incoming mechanical engineers. Now, successful engineers need knowledge of manufacturing processes, materials science, robotics and automation, electric vehicles and supply chain management. This broad training isn’t available in traditional programs. That’s why our international, multidisciplinary English-taught program is built in collaboration with industry to prepare you for work or advanced study in integrated systems.
