Mechanical Engineering
Why study mechanical engineering?
Modern mechanical engineering combines creative product development, design and modelling with efficient production that involves automation and robotisation. It takes materials, processing and the management of people and goods into consideration. LUT's mechanical engineering department represents the cutting edge of industry.
LUT provides a unique opportunity to implement conventional and modern aspects of mechanical engineering for the development of futuristic and revolutionary solutions. For example, one of the department’s ongoing projects is to develop artificial intelligence for Industry 4.0 machinery. With the help of power calculation, machines will be able to predict the future. With this "consciousness", the machine will select and execute movements as smooth and practical as possible.
How will you learn?
Most of your studies take place on campus during weekdays. Occasional online courses, as well as courses combining online and on-campus teaching, provide variety and flexibility to your study methods and schedule.
Your studies include
- theoretical lectures
- exercise sessions
- company visits
- projects
- individual and group assignments
- extensive laboratory work
What will you learn?
By the end of the studies, you will be able to build, measure and test a variety of sustainable technical solutions both in real life and virtually. In this programme, you will learn to utilise digital and virtual environments in design by considering the principles of the entire product life cycle and circular economy.
The diverse teaching in the programme prepares you for the international labour market. The technology industry is Finland's most important export sector, and its largest industrial sector is the machinery and metal industry.
Successful products in the machinery and metal industries include cruise ships, marine and power plant engines, elevators, cranes and hoists, electric and hybrid cars, and state-of-the-art commercial machines.

There is a great demand in the labour market for mechanical engineering experts. A mechanical engineering degree opens the door to a wide range of jobs in the metal or automotive industries, for example, but also in industries related to food, health care, energy, chemicals, construction, transport, or climate change mitigation.
You can work in management and expert positions, as a design or production engineer, or in the development of consumer goods, machinery, equipment, and their parts. With a master's degree in mechanical engineering, you can also research and develop manufacturing methods and apply them to production or simulate process or mechanical systems. It is also possible to complete a master’s degree in business administration after the bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering to forge a career path in managerial positions in the mechanical engineering industries.
