Mechanical Engineering - Mastertrack Materials for High Tech Systems Design

TheMechanical Engineering - Mastertrack Materials for High Tech Systems Design offered byEindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)s all about acquiring fundamental understanding of the properties of advanced engineering materials and their application in complex systems.

Key Features

How do you make cars safer when in collision? How do you build lightweight aircraft or print structures with optimal mechanical properties? How do you detect failure in windturbine blades? If these questions spark your curiosity, then the Mechanical Engineering - Mastertrack Materials for High Tech Systems Design offered by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)is right up your alley.

To design and manufacture complex systems, you require materials with excellent properties, such as high stiffness and strength in combination with low weight. Applications of these materials are found in the automotive and aerospace industries as well as the offshore and semiconductor sectors. In this master’s track, you learn how to quantify and improve the properties of these materials and apply them in the design of a complex structure. We study a wide range of materials – polymers, metal alloys, ceramics and composite or hybrid materials. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing of these materials, are an important part of your studies.

Material science, continuum mechanics, experimental techniques, computational mechanics, system design, optimization and more. Material for High Tech Systems Design covers a variety of different topics. This master’s track encompasses three pillars of science: experiment, theory and simulation.=. Specialized labs (such as the Multiscale lab, the Mechanical Testing lab and the Polymer Processing Lab) and high-performance computing facilities are at the center of our education and research. MHS provides you with the skills and know-how to use these amenities, including training in software development and state-of-the-art simulation tools (both open-source codes and commercial packages).

Courses include:

• Advanced Engineering Mathematics
• Advanced Computational Continuum Mechanics
• Experimentation for Mechanical Engineering
• Scientific Computing for Mechanical Engineering
• Applications of Design Principles
