Engineering Design and Product Development - Specialization
The study plan is not mandatory but is a recommended study plan that fulfills the requirements. All other study plans also have to fulfill the requirements, including maximum 2 years of study for obtaining 120 ECTS.
The discipline seeks an answer to the question: How can we ensure efficient implementation of industrial product development and the design of mechanical and mechatronic products and systems with a strong likelihood of finding a solution? Focus is on creative problem-solving, project work, product life considerations, application of methods, communication, and the use of computers in synthesis activities.
Engineering Design and Product Development
Here an answer is sought to the question: How can industrial product development and the design of mechanical and mechatronic products and systems be implemented effectively and with a high probability of achieving a solution? The focus is on creative problem-solving, project work, product life considerations, application of methods, communication, and the use of computers in synthesis activities.

Master thesis
Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
