Whether pacemakers, mobile phones or cars: engineering and computer science shape our everyday lives. It is the combination of these two disciplines that enables the development of modern, complex technical systems.

Numerous design and calculation tools, such as computer-aided design (CAD), finite element methods (FEM) or Matlab/Simulink, are used in the design of new products and processes. Both automation technology and information processing in process monitoring are crucial for the smooth running of processes. Various simulation tools can replace time-consuming and cost-intensive experiments and contribute significantly to new findings in research and development.

In order to use such methods and tools, engineers must be able to understand and model complex interactions between computer systems and their technical environment. In addition to the technical fundamentals of mechanical engineering, the Engineering Informatics specialisation provides you with sound knowledge in the core areas of computer science. This includes, for example, modelling, simulation, data structures and algorithms, software engineering and information systems.
