Special features regarding teaching

The degree in mechanical engineering at Coburg University of Applied Sciences is an excellent preparation for the practicalities involved in the career of an engineer. It conveys broad fundamental knowledge that enables adjustment to changing requirements. By choosing a specialisation in the 6th semester, students can pursue their individual interests. There are currently five specialisations: Development/design, manufacturing/materials, applied fluid technology, automotive engineering, simulation methods; The practical orientation of the engineering project deserves a special mention.

Special features regarding the equipment

A number of laboratories are available for teaching purposes (e.g. materials, vehicles, currents, production technology etc.). 3 CAD workspaces are available around the clock (CAx, FEM, CFD, software). The central library houses more than 4,000 volumes and 40 printed periodicals on mechanical engineering. The catalogue also contains 4,000 e-books and 444 electronic journals. A variety of specialist databases, such as ‘TecFinder’, ‘Perinorm’ and ‘Web of Science’, can be accessed as well. All electronic resources can be accessed from outside the university via a VPN server.

Special features regarding research and development

Students also have the opportunity to participate in the diverse research activities of Coburg University of Applied Sciences on scientific issues in the automotive industry and mechanical engineering as part of their studies (project work and theses). The institutes TAC (Transferzentrum Automotive Coburg), IHEA (Institute for High-Voltage Technology, Energy Systems and System Diagnostics), ISAT (Institute for Sensor and Actuator Technology) as well as the Fraunhofer Application Center Wireless Sensor Technology welcome active support from highly motivated students.

Support for founders

When mechanical engineering students develop new processes, products or services as part of a project, seminar or final thesis or independently, they are given the chance to realise them with support of the faculty's start-up officer. The start-up officer helps the students with the correct procedure and points to potential funding opportunities.

Other special features

The Coburg University of Applied Sciences has been extremely successful in Formula Student for more than ten years with the CAT Racing (Coburg Automobile Team) and ranks at the top of the world. Formula Student is a worldwide design and project management competition. Every year a race car is financed, built and brought to the race track according to a specific set of rules. For students of mechanical engineering in particular this is an excellent opportunity to apply their new theoretical skills in practice.
