Computational Engineering Science (Informationstechnik im Maschinenwesen) (B.Sc.)

Information technology today supports nearly all technical systems, whether in cars, the home or in production. Computational engineering science is the science of the development and ap-plication of information technologies for the construction, optimization, and automation of ma-chines as well as processes and production plants. In the engineering industry, information tech-nology functions on two levels: the incorporation of information-processing components into products and processes and the deployment of computers in production engineering, energy engineering, and process engineering. The Computational Engineering Science bachelors pro-gram is conceived as an interdisciplinary program bringing together information technology and mechanical engineering or energy engineering and process engineering. The broad-based curric-ulum addresses areas of mathematics, engineering, and information technology and as such provides you with the necessary technical principles for a thorough understanding of technologi-cal processes and the contexts in which they operate.

In the Computational Engineering Science bachelors program you learn to apply information-processing methods and processes to technical applications. You are able to identify and evalu-ate physical, mathematical, and technical interrelations in the further development of construc-tion, production, and process engineering through the application of information processing as well as identify the influences of these interrelations on technology and the environment and their mutual relationships. You will also acquire the necessary skills to understand and influence rapid technological change in research and application.

As for every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply. Generally, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. You can, however, also study at TU Berlin without a university entrance qualifi-cation certificate if you can demonstrate certain professional qualifications.

The bachelors program in Computational Engineering Science is taught in German. If you are ap-plying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a spe-cific level. This is a prerequisite for admission. Some technical courses in the compulsory part of the curriculum are offered in English. Knowledge of English is, therefore, useful. In subsequent stages of your studies knowledge of English will be indispensable.

You should ideally have a basic knowledge of and interest in mathematics, engineering and com-puter science as these subjects make up a large part of the content of the curriculum. As such it could be beneficial to have taken these subjects as advanced courses in school.
