Studieprogramma

Maintenance Engineering & Operations
Onderhoud is essentieel als je wilt dat technische systemen altijd beschikbaar en betrouwbaar zijn, tegen zo laag mogelijke kosten. De specialisatie Maintenance Engineering & Operations gaat over het verbeteren van het onderhoud van technische systemen, waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van onderzoek naar ontwerpmethoden, fysieke faalmechanismen en structurele gezondheidsbewaking. Andere belangrijke aspecten van het vakgebied zijn reliability engineering, geavanceerde planningsmethoden en onderhoudsmanagement. Je krijgt je niet alleen de instrumenten aangereikt om innovatieve onderhoudsoplossingen te ontwerpen, maar je leert ook deel te nemen aan de besluitvorming over onderhoudsprocedures voor technische installaties. Onderhoud is een veelzijdig terrein dat vele mogelijkheden biedt, van reliability engineering en conditie-afhankelijk onderhoud tot de logistiek van onderhoudscontracten en asset lifecycle management. Bedrijven zijn altijd op zoek naar onderhouds- en reliability-engineers, dus deze specialisatie biedt uitstekende carrièreperspectieven.
Energy & Flow
The specialisation is an in-depth programme focusing on classic fundamental topics such as fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. Interdisciplinary courses on multiphase flow, energy conversion and storage technology, energy from biomass, fuel cells and computational fluid dynamics, and specialist courses on for example aero-acoustics, applied courses on turbo-machinery and wind energy. Fluid and material behaviour play a crucial role either in processes (granular material) or in structural parts (composite materials), and new areas include multifunctional materials and metamaterials fulfilling a role in for example energy storage as well as in acoustic damping.
Examples in the field of Energy and Flow include: heat pumps, wind turbines, energy storage and harvesting, aeroplanes, pumps and compressors, gas turbines, pyrolysis in fluidized beds, biomass conversion processes, thermal solar, thermal management of batteries, multi-scale systems, interface and thin layer flows, contact mechanics and friction, and granular flows.
High-Tech Systems & Materials
do you want to become a mechanical engineer and are you passionate about the behaviour of systems and materials used to develop products and manufacturing processes? Are you eager to contribute to the creation of new and optimized materials, products and machinery? Do you want to combine fundamental research with model-based design and immediate industrial application? Then the High-Tech Systems and Materials specialization is the perfect choice for you. The HTSM specialization will deepen and broaden your knowledge of the development, design, analysis and maintenance of machinery, structures, products and production processes.
Aeronautics
Aeronautical engineering is the frontrunner in the development of new high-tech applications. Aeronautical engineering is the frontrunner in the development of new high-tech applications. Theories, analysis by computer simulations, design methodology, testing methods, production methods, safety and maintenance standards, materials and products developed in the aeronautical sector are often used later, sometimes in adapted form, in other engineering applications. The Aeronautics specialisation at UT aims to educate versatile mechanical engineers, well-equipped to contribute to new fundamental knowledge of aerodynamics.
Design & Manufacturing
What does it take to successfully launch new products, machines, production processes and factories in today’s world? How can we design smart solutions for the manufacturing systems of tomorrow? How will the fourth industrial revolution, its tools, methods and machines influence the way we design products, production processes and whole product life cycles? How can new tools such as virtual reality, additive manufacturing (3D printing), digital twins and cooperative robotics help us optimize these processes? These are some of the questions you will tackle in the Design & Manufacturing specialisation. The specialisation focuses on methodological design of engineering products, processes and production facilities by combining design methods, knowledge and skills with applied research and the development of in-depth expertise on the latest trends in product development, production methods and manufacturing strategies.
Smart & Sustainable Industry
Productions systems all over the world are facing a diversity of strong change drivers. The increasing diversity of products, accelerating environmental challenges and labor shortages ask for direct and radical changes in the way we produce goods and services. Innovative digitally driven technologies such as autonomous robots, digital twins of factories, artificial intelligence and complex sensor networks have shown their promising potential, but lack widespread implementation on the shopfloor. If you want to take a leading role in R&D for the development of sustainable, state of the art, production systems this is the master track for you.
Personalised Health Technology
This specialisation offers possibilities for experimental and theoretical approaches to real-life problems, or the design of solutions for use in the medical arena. We study the special mechanical properties of living biological tissue (muscle functioning and tissue engineering), flow problems related to heart and lungs, the dynamics and coordination of the human movement system, and we apply this in the development of instruments and methodologies that support the daily life functioning of individuals. Real-life mechanical behaviour is highly non-linear, time-dependent and non-isotropic, so a lot of creative engineering is needed to deal with this. The Personalised Health Technology specialisation is embedded and finds applications in most of the departments and disciplines of Mechanical Engineering.
