The degree program in Engineering Science is geared toward students seeking a broad foundational education and training in the sciences and associated methodologies, without having to commit to traditional engineering subjects. The course specifically addresses those who are interested in pursuing a professional career on the interfaces between the classic disciplines. Examples are mechatronics, process engineering, biomedical engineering, materials science, mechanics of materials, and software engineering. However, students can also pursue a classic degree in the engineering departments at the Technical University of Munich, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer engineering.
The central concern that drives the degree program is to convey the broad methodological foundations of the discipline, as required to work in engineering, without bringing a specific applied field to the fore. In addition, students receive a sound vocational education and training in mathematics and the natural sciences that is clearly more advanced than that offered by conventional degree programs in engineering. Here, equal emphasis is placed on theoretical and methodological orientation, as well as on the integration of content that is relevant to practical application in industry. During the course of their studies, students are given the opportunity to specialize in engineering sciences or in new interdisciplinary fields.
