Key Research Priorities

The Department of Mechanical Engineering participates in the following key research priorities of the Faculty of Engineering:

• New Materials and Processes (e.g. lightweight construction, structural plastics, tribological coatings)
• Information and Communication Technology (e.g. knowledge management, artificial intelligence for product development and production technology)
• Mechatronics and Production Engineering (e.g. additive manufacturing, electronics production)
• Optical Technologies (e.g. Laster technology, measuring technology)
• Medical Engineering (e.g. biomechanics)
• Interdisciplinary topic: Modelling/Simulation/Optimization (e.g. sustainable product and process development, finite element simulation, dynamic simulation)
