Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering (Mechanical Energy Engineering)
Electromechanical engineering is a collection of engineering disciplines around the themes motion, force and energy. The world of electromechanical engineering encompasses development, design, manufacturing, testing and control of tools, machines, vehicles and other electrical or mechanical systems, as well as research on these topics.
EUR-ACE® Master (EURopean ACcredited Engineering Master)
The EUR-ACE label was accredited to this programme by the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI), under the auspices of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).
EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.
What will you study?
The world of electromechanical engineering encompasses development, design, manufacturing, testing and control of tools, machines, vehicles and other electrical or mechanical systems, as well as research on these topics. The Electromechanical Engineering is a two-year degree programme intended to prepare students for a future technical leadership role in industry. The programme offers in-depth training in all aspects of electromechanical engineering and its economic and social implications based on a solide scientific basis.
Graduates will have acquired an attitude of scientific synthesis, analytical reasoning as well as scientific and technical independence. Training in research skills provides mastery in developing, implementing and monitoring technical and scientific innovations.
Programme
Programme structure
The programme consists of a general module, main subject modules, electives and a dissertation. The general module contains course units on all topics related to Electromechanical Engineering, ranging from electrical drives and machine manufacturing, to management skills.
Students can choose one of five main subject modules with specialist course units on different topics of interest. The Mechanical Energy Engineering main subject gives students insight in energy conversion and energy use in thermal systems, thermal machines, HVAC and all kinds of industrial equipment.
Through elective course units students broaden their knowledge and skills on technical and non-technical topics. The Master’s dissertation is a final step in the learning process. It aims at fostering the ability to conduct scientific research independently.
After graduation
Career prospects
Electromechanical Engineering graduates from all five main subjects are employed in all branches of industry. Both at government agencies and private companies their range of professional activity is broad and varied: electrical energy production and distribution, electrical and mechanical equipment manufacturing, metal industry, building construction, transport, consultancy, banking and insurance.
Mechanical Energy Engineering graduates work in the development and design of various types of machinery and mechanical equipment where energy conversion and energy efficiency is of major concern, e.g.: internal combustion engines, steam, gas, wind and hydraulic turbines, compressors, fans, steam boilers and HVAC&R installations.
