The new two-year graduate program in English, leading to an M.Sc. degree will start in February 2009, students can start the study either in fall and in spring semester. Individual postgraduate academic and research programs, which are usually completed in two to three years, are available for those who already have an M.Sc. degree and wish to pursue a Ph.D. degree.
This course deals with those time-dependent problems of mechanical engineering, which typically require the efficient modeling of these tasks in order to access the continuously developing methods of computational engineering. Modern computational methods are very popular since they show their easy-to-use interface for engineers. This often causes misunderstanding and disappointment during the naive applications of engineering software.
It is based on the foundations provided by the long-standing positive traditions of some former successful courses of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at BME, like:
* Engineering Mathematics,
* Integrated Engineering (mechanical and electrical),
* Robotics (formerly also in Russian),
* Mechanical Engineering (BSc and MSc courses in English).
The goals of the Faculty's graduate M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs are:
* to train creative, inventive mechanical engineers who can apply the engineering skills and the knowledge they have gained from the natural sciences on a state-of-the-art level; and
* to foster the development of leaders in engineering research and development.
Contents
The tasks of mechanical engineers that typically require the modeling of machines in motion and that of time-varying processes are based on solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and electronics. Modeling means the understanding and active application of the related theories, which are supported by differential equations and numerical methods in mathematics.
Modeling needs also experimental work during the research-development-innovation process in case engineers do not have enough information about the motions and processes they want to capture by a model. Finally, modeling is also affected by the engineers knowledge in design, technology, and informatics, since the model should not be so complex that the available software is unable to solve them within reasonable time and for reasonable cost.
The above principles affected the formation of this master course. After the brief summary of the required mathematics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics, control and informatics, the students have to choose a major and a minor specialization from the following list of modules:
1. Solid Mechanics
2. Fluid Mechanics
3. Thermal Engineering
4. Design and Technology
5. Industrial Electronics (minor only)
6. Robotics
The possible combinations provide a large flexibility starting with the more research oriented knowledge (combinations of the first 3 modules), through the development oriented one (major form modules 1-3 and minor from 4-6 or vice versa), till the practice and applied oriented innovation (major and minor from the modules 4-6).
This new course is in English only.
This course is also compatible to many master courses in mechanical engineering in the European Union:
* Engineering Fluid Dynamics;
* Mechanics and Technical Design;
* Mechanics and Technology;
* Research in Mechanics and Systems of Engineering;
* Advanced Dynamics Engineering;
* Geometric Modelling and Design;
* Manufacturing Modelling;
* Power Transmission and Motion Control Systems;
* Thermal Engineering;
* Components of Electrical Engineering;
* Motion Engineering and Robotics;
* Dynamics and Control in Robotics;
* Computational Mechanics, etc.

Requirements
* B.Sc. degree or its equivalent, (with notarized official English translations of all transcripts. Unofficial copies are not accepted.)
* Average grades of "B" or better (depends on faculty requirements)
* Proof of English language proficiency at one of the following levels:
* TOEFL test score of 550 or the new computer based score 213,
