Mechanical Multi- Engineering

MSc Programme

Society faces tremendous challenges to meet demands on efficiency, sustainability and safety of complex processes. In the and production domain Multi-Machine Engineering address these challenges with an integrated perspective that combines core (mechanical systems’) with real-time operation and distributed machine- machine interactions. In the track MME you develop the skills necessary to design such integrated systems of , combining science-based methodologies, with state-of-the-art , and hands-on lab and industrial case experience.
