Annotation
Mechanical engineering is responsible for all the machinery and equipment needed in the entire industrial sector. Innovation, effectiveness and quality of mechanical engineering make themselves felt across the board in consumer and investment goods. Thus, mechanical engineering is at the core of the industrial sector of every highly developed country.
Mechanical Engineers develop and test new machines and assemblies, prepare documents for their manufacture and use, prepare for series production and organise sales and service. You design and manage complex processes in factory operations to ensure effective operations.
The course imparts knowledge and skills that enable use in all branches of machine and vehicle construction. The main focus of the course is on machine construction, production technology in mechanical and vehicle engineering, and textile technology.
