Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology
Learn to design machines, solve problems and program robots! Mechanical engineering is a versatile modern field.
Mechanical engineering can be seen everywhere in our society from wind turbines to engines to your device on which you are reading this description.
If you want to learn how different things are assembled and manufactured or how you could develop more responsible products for the future, mechanical engineering is for you.
As a mechanical engineer you are a sought-after professional in the field of technology. In HAMK you use digital design and simulation when you learn to design machines and products in practical working life cases. First you design something new and then materialise your concept with for example 3D printing.
Structure of studies
Mechanical engineering and production technology is applied and needed in all industries. That is why you will learn strong general engineering skills with us, such as problem solving and analysis skills. At the same time you specialise in the design of machines, devices, products and production in various digital design environments.
You study in real projects in close cooperation with local companies in the field. In addition to the design work, you will learn project management and customer-oriented design thinking which are necessary in working life.
You also gain the expertise needed for future sustainable development solutions. You will learn how to lead and manage projects and how to plan and develop production, supply chains and industrial services. With material choices, optimization, repairability and recyclability aspects you are able to influence on the economical, ecological and social sustainability of production and manufacturing.
In addition to traditional material technology, you will learn modern product development, such as reverse engineering. You will learn to utilize developing technologies such as 3D modelling, robotics, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
The first two years of your studies, the core competence is the same for all Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology students.
Specialization options
After you have completed the core competence studies, you start your profiling studies by choosing two or more of the profiling modules based on your own interests:
- 3D Engineering
- Design of Industrial Appliances
- Manufacturing Automation in a Workshop
- Robotics
- Structural Analysis
Students are selected using two selection methods:
- Admission on the basis of SAT-test results
- Admission on the basis of the points awarded for the entrance examination
Applicants can choose whether they take the SAT test or participate in the entrance examination.
- SAT test (only for IB not required) is the alternative for taking the entrance examination. Reading, writing and speaking + mathematics: https://www.studinfo.lt/egzaminai/sat (400 in reading and writing and 400 in math). Only SAT (not STA subject) is accepted. SAT scores must be sent directly to HAMK from test centre: school code 6894. Results must be submitted untill May 31
- Online entrance examination and interviews (5 times during the application). Applicants are invited to entrance examination after they submitted an kastu online application form. Applicants who passed written part of entrance exam are invited to the interview. After the interview applicants get their offer. First entrance examination is organized at the start of November and later on almost every month until May.
What will you become?
You will become an engineer who can solve problems, design new and develop the old with a wide range of career choices around the world. A typical employer is a design engineering office, small- or medium-size workshop or a large global company. A common career path may lead to expert tasks, managerial duties or entrepreneurship.
