What you will study
This is the Design of Mechanical Systems specialisation of the Master of Science in Engineering in Mechanical Engineering at Aalborg University. It sits where mechanics meets industrial product development, and it is taught in English over two years in Aalborg.
What you study
The specialisation mixes classical engineering theory with computer based design tools. On the theory side you meet mechanics of materials, continuum mechanics (elasticity, plasticity and micro mechanics), fracture mechanics and fatigue, and energy and variational methods with applications. On the tool side you work with finite element methods, multi body system analysis and engineering design optimisation.
Composite materials for advanced structural applications are a key area, and you learn to use them for engineering design purposes. Courses and projects cover stress and deformation analyses of load carrying structural elements, mechanics of composite materials and structures, and the engineering design of mechanical systems. The aim is to combine technical and creative skills across the design and development process.
Admission, language and next steps
To get in you need a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing, Innovation and Product Design or the like. You may also need to document English at a specified level; Aalborg University sets out its language requirements on its own pages.
