Objectives

The master program Systems Engineering for Manufacturing aims at domestic and international students with a bachelor's degree from scientific engineering areas. It provides skills to question existing solutions and to apply scientific methods to develop new solutions in the field of engineering and use of product and production systems. The master program is focused on subjects relevant in the field of production systems It provides knowledge and skills related to the location crossing engineering of new production systems based on the products to be manufactured as well as to life-cycle management of production systems.

The master’s program covers the methodical basis for the engineering of production systems exploiting the paradigm of systems of systems. It provides expertise for the engineering and control of production systems and enables the identification and meaningful application of dependencies between different parts and/or aspects of production systems.
