Studying at the department The Department of Mechanical Engineering covers a wide range of subjects.
Teaching is performed through lectures, assignments, group work and laboratory studies.
The department is situated in modern premises, and the laboratories have the advanced equipment required. Computers as a tool have changed mechanical engineering in many ways. The drawing board is substituted with the monitor, and manual calculation methods with computer programs. The excellent computer facilities have open access for the students. The student chooses a branch of study in the second half of the programme.
