MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (MSc)

Level of qualification:

master (MSc)

Duration of study program:

4 semesters (2 years) full-time program

 
Specializations/Majors:

- Life Management

The Purpose of the Course:

Its purpose is  to train engineers capable of elaborating the concept of machines, machineries and processes, modelling them, then planning, operating and maintaining them; developing machine industry technologies, new materials, production technologies and using them in view of environmental aspects; performing leading, management and organization tasks, performing the tasks of technical development, research, planning and innovation, connecting to and coordinating engineering projects of domestic and/or international level, as well as continuing engineering studies even within the scope of doctor’s education.

A graduated Mechanical Engineer shall be familiar with

•    the theory and practice connected with the mechanical engineering profession, while having manual capability of proper level, measuring ability at a laboratory level.,
•    the tasks and activities connected with management,
•    computer communication and analysis,
•    environmental protection, quality issues, consumer protection, product liability, principles and application of access of equal chances, workplace health and safety, technical and economical legal regulations as well as the fundamental provisions of engineers’ ethics,
•    problem solution technics necessary for research or scientific work suitable to be used in wide circle,
•    the global social- and economic processes.

The students graduated in Mechanical Engineering on master level shall be able to

•    - apply the knowledge acquired and utilizing it in the practice, using the problem solution technics,
•    - process the information on the limits of the professional experience acquired in the discipline, new problems that arise and new phenomena,
•    - formulate relevant judgment or opinion according to possibilities and drawing conclusions,
•    - understand and solve the problems to be solved, raising original ideas,
•    - plan and implement tasks at a high professional standard in a self-dependent way,
•    - improve their knowledge to a higher level by means of self-education and self-development,
•    - view the management of technical and economic human resources in a complex way,
•    - to do the global planning of complex systems based on systems thinking and problem oriented mentality,
•    - apply integrated knowledge on the professional fields of mechanical equipment and processes, machine industry materials and technologies as well as the connected electronics and information technology,

Future (Career) Prospects:

Lifetime management has become an essential factor in the, cost-effective operation of productioncompanies , this is why the graduated students are sought-after ont he labour market. Job opportunities are opened to the skillful mechanical engineers on the following areas: who are able to do the work tasks to do the work tasks on the field technical design, technical innovation, maintenance and quality insurance.

Content and Structure:

During their studies candidates are required to take up to 120 credits, each semester totaling 30 credits.
There are 6 core modules in each of the first 3 semesters of the programme.
The core modules in the first year are taken mainly from the field of mathematics, modern material and production technologies, mechanics, physics, product management and value evaluation, lifetime management, maintenance and repair technologies and damage to engineering materials.
Second year modules includes technology, structural integrity, machine condition monitoring methods, weldability, furthermore the students are expected to focus on the accomplishment their thesis.
Some subjects of the study program can be registered for and studied in online form, too
