Introduction
Master Proven Technology In Step With The Times
Mechanical engineering is a tried and tested course of study that is in tune with the times with its many modern trends such as simulation, lightweight construction and bionics. The development of ever lighter and at the same time highly stressed components in automobiles, aircraft or in the manufacturing or plant industry requires the use of sophisticated, innovative calculation, simulation and analysis methods. This course of study opens the door to the fascinating world of modern mechanical engineering research and development.
Important facts
Graduates have access to a wide range of career opportunities in a variety of industries (e.g. automotive and supplier industry, machine tool construction, automation technology, aerospace industry or energy technology). Typical fields of activity for graduates are calculation engineer (strength, dynamics and acoustics, heat propagation, fluid mechanics or mechatronics), test engineer (conception, implementation and evaluation of test bench tests), managerial and coordinating activities in the R&D area, self-employed and freelance activities (e.g. technical office for mechanical engineering, engineering consultant, civil engineer).

Career Opportunities
What comes next?
Graduates are taught the ability to solve development, calculation, research or optimization tasks independently and efficiently in various industries. The courses for the technical and basic knowledge required are rounded off by economic subjects and courses to promote social skills.
The master's degree program is intended to complement and deepen the basic bachelor's degree program. The concept of the course is also designed in such a way that it can generally be completed by graduates of bachelor's courses with a technical (mechanical engineering-related) focus.
Good to know
The Wels mechanical engineering course opens the door to the fascinating world of simulations for graduates. These already shape modern mechanical engineering today and will continue to gain in importance in the future. The demand for academics in this area is enormous
