Aerospace Engineering is always at the forefront of technological developments. The AE Department of FHWN strives to offer students the educational environment and the tools they need to tackle challenging topics and remain pioneers in engineering.

Rapid developments in vehicle engineering have led to a merging of the fields of Mechanics, Electronics and Informatics. One cause of this is that vehicles meet customer demands by the optimal interplay of various mechanical and electronic components. Many functions in the areas of comfort, safety and efficiency are only made possible by mechatronic systems.

The master's degree program in Mechatronics - Smart Technologies provides the necessary methodological skills in the fields of electrical engineering, mechatronics, computer science and smart technologies to later fill top management positions in international companies in the automotive industry, special machine engineering, semiconductor technology and many more. Future-oriented topics such as:

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.

Due to the increasingly dynamic and complex environmental conditions, the tasks in companies in the mechatronics sector are constantly changing and the need for interdisciplinary industrial engineers is therefore constantly increasing. This is where this degree program comes in and offers working experts advanced professional qualifications in selected areas of mechatronics, agile management and business administration.

The economical, ecological, sustainable and targeted use of materials and their efficient processing represent a key competitive factor for Austrian industry. In view of the increasing quality requirements in production and the use of new materials, there is an increasing need for skilled workers who are familiar with the specific requirements for processing and applying these materials. The required quality of many products can only be achieved through appropriate processing techniques and their specific effects on the material properties.
