Upon successful completion of the program, graduates can draw on a portfolio of knowledge, skills, and competencies in the field of numerical simulation, modeling of engineering problems, and a profound understanding of mechanical issues. Graduates specialize in simulating structures, fluids, thermomechanical processes, and electromechanical interactions, and are capable of translating complex physical systems into mechanical models and utilizing appropriate tools to predict system behavior through advanced numerical analysis.

The methods in the field of Computational Methods in Engineering are the future-oriented techniques that modern engineers need. Typical applications include among others:

• 3D structural analysis, nonlinear dynamics, optimization, multibody dynamics, crash simulations, and acoustics in automotive engineering and general mechanical engineering
• Fluid-structure interaction, structural optimization, supersonic flight properties, and high-temperature loads in aerodynamics and process engineering
• Material models (e.g. bones, tissue), prostheses, implants, and artificial blood vessels in biomechanics and medical technology

Graduates will work professionally at the interfaces between mechanical engineering, process engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and mathematics as specialists in numerical analysis and simulation of complex technical problems. They bridge the gap between classical engineering disciplines, mathematics, computer science, and software development.

Good knowledge in natural science and technical fields; interest in computer science and simulation, in thinking in systems and structures, as well as in complex problem solving, working in interdisciplinary teams, and taking on leadership roles.

The academic education with the degree M.Sc. from Otto von Guericke University provides sufficient prerequisite for further postgraduate education in the field of engineering and related areas (e.g. doctorate).
