Innovation drives our Industry
Bachelor Mechanical Engineering
You want to help shape the future and develop sustainable products?
You are interested in modern technologies?
You want to develop creative ideas for new technical alternatives?
We're working on:
- modern development methods
- more efficient drive technologies
- sustainable manufacturing processes
- regenerative energy sources
- better environmentally friendly materials
Then you should enrol now at our University of Applied Sciences!
Why study Mechanical Engineering at Hochschule Kaiserslautern:
We offer an ultra-modern campus. The newly built laboratories, where you can experiment and work on your own, are just a few metres away from the lecture rooms. It doesn't get any better than this!
We will train you so that you can help shape technical progress and solve the problems of tomorrow as a creative product developer, resourceful plant engineer or innovative production engineer.
With our scanning electron microscope, for example, you can help develop new materials. In process engineering, you will work in a team and set up new test facilities in the emission-free technical centre. We use our new metal 3D printers to produce components that could not be manufactured conventionally. In our wind tunnel, you will learn how to design aerodynamically optimised cars. And much more! Come and have a look at the laboratory building.
‘I chose to study mechanical engineering at Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences because it gives me the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge directly in practice. The modern laboratories and co-operation with leading companies offer me the opportunity to work on real projects and gain valuable professional experience, which will significantly improve my career prospects.’
Student Mechanical Engineering
'The Mechanical Engineering degree programme at Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences offers a practice-oriented education. We use state-of-the-art technologies and methods, such as our ultra-modern mechanical engineering laboratories. Our students work on real projects and learn to develop innovative solutions for the industry, which prepares them perfectly for their future careers.’
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Kilb
After solid, practice-oriented training in the fundamentals of engineering, you have to decide on a study focus at the beginning of the 4th semester. No matter how you make your choice, looking beyond the boundaries of your own discipline and learning soft skills and project management are always part of it.
In Digital Product Development area, you will learn about modern (commercial) simulation programmes from the fields of mechanics and fluid mechanics and the associated processes in companies. Based on the technical fundamentals of the programs, you will know the possibilities and limitations of the tools and will be able to use them to solve problems efficiently. - This major can be studied in English or German.
The following focus areas can be studied in German:
The focus on General Mechanical Engineering will teach you how to design and optimise important machines and devices, how to meet the requirements of efficiency, lightweight construction, sustainability, ergonomics and design. And you will learn how a smart combination of simulation and experimentation can help you do this.
In the Production Technology focus, you will learn how manufacturing processes, automated machine tools, quality management, business organisation and, last but not least, people's skills can be combined to create innovative production concepts which are optimised for business purposes. In all cases, you will work on a project-related basis and on tangible solutions.
In the Process Engineering specialisation, you will learn everything about material conversion processes from wastewater treatment to cement production. This includes the dimensioning and design of the relevant equipment as well as the planning and construction of complete plants with the corresponding project management. You will have access to excellently equipped laboratories and, of course, the appropriate simulation tools.
As part of the Engineering specialisation, it is possible, upon request, to put together the modules of the specialisation individually from the range of lectures offered by the faculty.
Stays abroad can be easily integrated into your studies through the international programme.
In addition, we offer several double degree programmes to obtain a Bachelor's degree from our partner university alongside the degree from our university.
