Faculty of Mechanical Engineering

From chip to ship. From machine to human. From idea to solution. From the desire to understand the environment and to discover which mechanisms underlie it, research and education focus on fundamental understanding, design, production, application and improvement of products, materials, processes and (mechanical) systems.

The ME faculty is a dynamic and innovative faculty with an international scope and high-tech lab facilities. Because we are so large and versatile, we can create unique cross-connections and combine disciplines. This is reflected in excellent and modern education that trains students to become socially involved and responsible engineers and researchers. We translate the knowledge and insights we gain into solutions for social issues, contribute to a sustainable society and to the development of prosperity and well-being. That is what connects us in groundbreaking research, inspiring education and (inter)national cooperation.
