Here you find information about the courses offered by the institute in the degree programs Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Medical Engineering and Polymer Technologies.
The detailed information below is restricted to the two degree programs Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering, for which the subject area Mechatronics at JKU is responsible, as the Institute of Technical Mechanics is assigned to this subject area.
Concerning details about the degree programs Medical Engineering and Polymer Technologies please contact the responsible studies commissions.
COMPULSORY COURSES
We offer the compulsary courses VO + UE Engineering Mechanics for Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering students. The course KV Continuum Mechanics is a compulsary course for Mechanical Engineering students, which is not mandatory for Mechatronics students.
SPECIALISATIONS
Specialized courses by the institute are offered in one specialisation in each of the bachelor programs Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering.
Mechanics and Smart Structures (Specialisation) - Bachelor Mechatronik
We recommend to also choose the course PR Computational Methods in Mechanics, which can be credited to the specialisation Mechanics and Smart Structures.
Modelling and Simulation (Specialisation) - Bachelor Mechanical Engineering
For students who are writing their bachelor thesis at the institute, we also offer the course Bachelor seminar, opens an external URL in a new window.
