"Doing things right and doing the right things". Analyze, calculate and develop products using scientific methods. How should a product be designed to satisfy the requirements of performance, life, economy, and environment? A technical education on an advanced level is a good base for your future success.

After finishing this Master Program you will be able to deal with a wide range of problems within advanced Mechanical Engineering; the program focuses on Computational Mechanics and Systems Engineering; *omit two research areas at Linnaeus University.

The basis for the Computational Mechanics part is given by the courses Multivariate Calculus and Vector Calculus and Analysis of Structures. Within the Finite Element Method and Structural Dynamics courses, theory together with methods and tools for solving mechanical problems are given. Within Systems Engineering, powerful development tools with specific applications to complex products, functions, and systems are given. Different case studies are presented and projects from the industry are examined in order to identify and analyze problem areas, accomplish action planning and suggest appropriate actions for handling these problems with adequate methods. In particular, projects and problems concerning heavy vehicles are studied.... [-]

This programme covers the entire product development cycle, from idea to the final product. With five specialisations and close industry collaborations, you will be qualified for work in any field of development, engineering or manufacturing.

Mechanical engineers are expected to be creative, have broad knowledge and work as members of multidisciplinary teams. With this programme, you will become a problem-solver with a holistic perspective, ready to take part in today’s product development to create tomorrow’s sustainable society.

The first semester consists of mandatory courses in mechanical engineerings, such as fluid power systems, computational mechanics, and deformation and fracture of engineering materials. They are combined with courses in product development and project management.... [-]

Having access to clean water is the cornerstone for improving healthcare, increasing food supply, reducing child mortality rates and enhancing people’s overall quality of life. It has become crucial to develop technologies that can tackle water security challenges and meet the increasing demand. By applying integrated water resources management, surface water and groundwater can be used to cover this demand in a sustainable and eco-friendly way. These are the issues we explore with our students, as well as many other challenges such as wastewater treatment, stormwater management, coastal hydraulics and modelling of hydrological processes. The programme is broad and covers the most important aspects of water resources engineering.... [-]
