- Description/content
- Raise your skills in computational methods to a new level to solve real-world challenges in engineering.
This Master’s programme combines civil engineering and mechanical engineering with mathematics and information technology. We are looking for graduates with a Bachelor’s degree in an engineering subject who are interested in strongly project-based training on new sophisticated computational methods. Get ready for the following:
• More than FEM – explore modern element technologies!
• Solve real-world challenges with multi-scale and multi-physics modelling and simulations!
• Write your own machine learning code to predict material and structural properties!
Nowadays, engineering without computer-assisted planning and calculation methods is inconceivable. In biomedical engineering, such methods contribute to the development of diagnostics and the possibilities for assessing medical conditions. In the development of vehicle navigation systems, they facilitate data processing for route planning as well as vehicle localisation and guidance. Not only did computer-aided simulation make it possible to build the tallest building in the world, but it also has improved the building’s energy efficiency.
Modelling and simulation computer programmes have therefore become indispensable methods of planning and analysis in many areas. At Leibniz University Hannover, the Master’s degree programme in Computational Methods in Engineering is interdisciplinary in nature. Graduates will be proficient in methods in mathematics and information technology as well as in engineering models and simulations widely used in industry today, enabling them to resolve issues in a wide range of fields of work.
