The Esslingen Master of Engineering in Design and Development in Automotive and Mechanical Engineering (DDM) is focused on supplying advanced knowledge and abilities in the area of design and development of complex engineering systems. lt aims at enabling students to deal successfully with the various facets of modern, simultaneous engineering development projects. Besides advanced technical and scientific lectures and labs, cross-cultural, interdisciplinary student projects are part of the program. Through these, students are given the opportunity to share not only their specialized knowledge but also their cultural backgrounds in real-life working scenarios.

Modern simultaneous engineering demands specialist qualifications and knowledge plus the ability and willingness to work in an interdisciplinary and international team. The aim of this course is to communicate these skills.

INTERESTING AND INNOVATIVE

The Master of Engineering in DDM is a program that aims to prepare students for a challenging job in the core areas of design and development within the globalized mechanical engineering and automotive engineering industry.

The core modules of the program include lectures on advanced strength of materials, materials technology, dynamic systems, design for manufacturing, design and development plus several complementary subjects. Graduates of the program are qualified to work for example in the following areas: automotive industry and its component suppliers, mechanical engineering industry, process engineering industry and engineering consultancy.

Students gain core competence and qualifications in problem-solving know-how which is based on networked knowledge in the core and intersection areas of design, development, simulation and production technology. Strong focus is placed on the ability to communicate confidently and act in the international/intercultural environment of modern industry.

STUDY IN THE CENTRE OF THE EUROPEAN MECHANICAL AND AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING INDUSTRY

Esslingen University of Applied Sciences has a long tradition in educating mechanical and automotive engineers. Founded in 1914 as Royal College for Mechanical Engineering, the university has always taken ad-vantage of its location in one of the major centres of European industry, and therefore is closely linked to the nearby companies, including a lot of the global technological leaders, both in the area of mechanical and automotive engineering, such as Daimler, Bosch, Festo, Porsche, Index and many others.

FACULTY AND TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

The teaching faculty consists of professors from the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences as well as experts from our corporate partners. Because of our strong commitment to provide our students with hands-on knowledge, many of our courses are team-oriented including case studies, company visits and project work. In this way, students have the best of the analytical and the pragmatic approaches to each discipline.

PRACTICAL AND INTERNATIONAL

The Esslingen Master of Engineering reflects the needs of globally-oriented companies. We offer the opportunity for students from diverse cultural backgrounds to study, work and live together. This is made possible through active contact with partner universities in many countries throughout the world. The intercultural co-operation on project work is also of added value to master's students.

Esslingen University maintains regular contact with many international companies. This is important when it comes to the implementation of theory during the master's thesis. The Esslingen University master courses are regularly accredited by renowned associations such as the ASIIN.
