Department of Machine Design

We work with product development in the broadest sense – with everything from innovation management and design methods to surface- and component development and design of engineering systems.

Units and competence centers

The Department of Machine Design consists of four units that conduct their own research and education. We have five competence centers working closely with the industry and providing research-related infrastructure.

Internal Combustion Engines

Integrated Product Development and Design

Mechatronics and Embedded Control Systems

System and Component Design

CCGEx – Competence Center for Gas Exchange

ICES – Innovative Centre for Embedded Systems

ITRL – Integrated Transport Research Lab

TECoSA – Center for Trustworthy Edge Computing Systems and Applications

Prototype Center

Time for this year's KEXPO!

Kexpo shows student work from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The third-year students' degree project in Mechatronics and Design and Product Development has emerged in close contact with various companies. First year students in Design and Product Development have developed weareable aids. There is a total of 80 different projects with pictures, descriptions and posters. Do not miss these future product developers!
