Mechanical Engineering: Delft University of Technology

At TU Delft, the goal of the MSc Programme in Mechanical Engineering is to give students a broad, in-depth understanding of all mechanical engineering disciplines. The programme trains engineers to handle the entire process of innovative thinking, design, manufacturing and operation.

In the MSc Programme in Mechanical Engineering, you will begin straight away in one of the six tracks. Each track teaches you the basics of mechanical engineering, whether your interest is more in working in the medical sector or on large industrial plants.

Transportation Engineering
Transportation Engineering (TE) focuses on the sustainable and effective development, design, construction and operation of marine and ground transport systems.

Control Engineering
Control Engineering (CE) is about the analysis and design of reliable high-performance measurement and control strategies for a wide variety of dynamic technological processes. This track places particular emphasis on two fields of industrial application: advanced process control and motion control for electromechanical and servo-hydraulic systems.

Sustainable Processes & Energy Technologies
Sustainable Processes & Energy Technologies (SPET) gives students the technological knowledge and the theoretical, numerical and experimental skills to play an active role in the development of innovative new energy and process technologies.

Precision and Microsystems Engineering
Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) trains students in such disciplines as advanced simulation, mechatronics, smart microsystems and high-precision production techniques – all of which play an integral role in the design and development of devices whose dimensions may be measured in nanometres.

BioMechanical Design
BioMechanical Design is the design of systems meant for interaction with biological systems (such as the human body), or the design of systems that follow the principles of biological systems (biomimetics).

Solid & Fluid Mechanics
The Solid & Fluid Mechanics (SFM) track focuses on the fundamentals of contemporary mechanics. A variety of courses address such issues as the formulation and fundamentals of governing continuum theories, numerical solution procedures and discretisation techniques.
