Location of RWTH Aachen University
First the programme provides in-depth knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of advanced mathematics and numerical methods, solid and fluid mechanics, software engineering, and simulation techniques.
On this basis the specialised development and application of computer-aided simulation techniques is taught in two areas of emphasis:
* The option Conception of Machines prepares the student to develop and to apply modern computer-aided methods focused on the construction and dimensioning of structural members and mechanical engineering systems according to the functional requirements. The core compulsory courses for this area of specialisation include the fundamentals of structural mechanics, computational analysis, finite element methods and computer-aided design.
* The option Production prepares students to develop and to use computer-aided systems in modern industrial production, which includes manufacturing, production systems, planning, and management. Compulsory courses cover modelling, simulation and control of manufacturing processes and production systems, automatic control, quality management and production management.
In both areas of emphasis, students can choose lectures from a wide range of elective courses according to their personal interest. Graduates will be qualified to work in a multitude of different areas of industry, including research and development, design, manufacturing and production. In granting the RWTH Master Degree, the programme gives the graduate a degree that is recognised world-wide and qualifies for further PhD studies.
Contents
This programme is comprised of three semesters of lectures, exercises, seminars, and laboratory courses, a two month industrial internship, and a four month period devoted to preparing a master thesis (in the 4th semester).
* Conception of Machines * Mandatory Courses
* Elective Courses
* Production * Mandatory Courses
* Elective Courses
Content & Social Coaching
The participants of the master programme will also benefit from personal coaching on all issues regarding the contents of the course. This content coaching will be complemented by an extensive social coaching on a broad spectrum of issues.
This programme is designed to broaden and to increase the knowledge and practical use of computer-aided simulation techniques in mechanical engineering. Its particular focus is on the development and application of computer-aided methods and systems in all stages of the product development from the initial conception to the manufacturing process.
The programme focuses on the important principles needed to understand and to apply simulation techniques in mechanical engineering, with special emphasis on topics, such as design of machines and structures, or production and manufacturing.
In learning about computational engineering and simulation techniques, the students will be trained to develop and to use computer-aided engineering methods in either the area of emphasis Conception of Machines or Production.
The knowledge gained from ongoing research at RWTH flows directly into lectures, seminars, and workshops, thus ensuring an up-to-date and innovative curriculum.
IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.

Formal Entrance Requirements
A candidate should have a recognised first degree (Bachelor of Science or Engineering) in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, such as Automotive, Aerospace or Energy Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial or Production Engineering, awarded by an internationally recognised university-level institution.
Candidates should have also performed above average in their undergraduate studies and should be able to speak and write fluently in English (TOEFL 550 paper-based/213 computer-based or IELTS 6.0). The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is also required.
Special Entrance Requirements
This programme is appropriate for both engineers coming from industry as well as those coming directly from university. Candidates should be able to apply their knowledge of mathematics and science and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. In addition, candidates should be able to design a particular system, component, or process to meet desired needs, as well as to prepare and perform experiments in a laboratory environment.
