Engineers with an education in Economics; Ability to work with an inter-disciplinary approach and to think holistically and strategically; identify products for the markets of tomorrow and design the necessary business processes; Engineering and Economics subjects are taught in parallel; Independent initiative; Holistic thinking; Motivation; Communications Capability.

Special features regarding the international orientation

It is through various international and programme representatives for universities in different country that the Department of Mechanical Engineering guarantees individual support for students who wish to complete parts of their course abroad. As such, the Department of Mechanical Engineering cooperates closely with the International Office of the Paderborn University. There are also various contacts to universities and companies around the world.

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Illinois State University, USA; Western Michigan University, USA; University of Alberta, Kanada; Carlos III University of Madrid, Spanien; Université du Maine, Frankreich; University College of Southeast Norway, Norwegen; Mersin University, Turkei; Chalmers University of Technology, Schweden; University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz, Polen; University of Miskolc, Ungarn; University of Liège, Belgien; Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finnland.

Special features regarding the equipment

There is WiFi available across the whole university. Effective study is supported by continuous IT development in the Faculty, provision of an e-learning environment, laboratory for Virtual Prototyping (augmented reality/virtual reality), computer pools with subject-specific software and laboratory equipment for the practical application of theoretically acquired knowledge.

Special features regarding research activities

Direct Manufacturing Research Centre, SFB 614 Self-Optimizing Systems in Mechanical Engineering, SFB TR 30 Manufacture of graded structures based on thermo-mechanically coupled phenomena, KET (Competence Centre Energy Technology), ILH (Institute for Lightweight Construction with Hybrid Systems), Fraunhofer IEM and much more

Support for founders

The University of Paderborn is one of the universities with the highest spin-off rates in North Rhine-Westphalia - and our chair would like to make a substantial contribution to this. In recent years, numerous students, graduates and academics have started companies that today work closely with the university and play an important role as contracting parties for research and development, but also as employers for graduates.

Other special features

The Paderborn Economic Engineers distinguish themselves through their ability to work across disciplines and with integrated strategies. The course fosters and promotes individual initiatives, the willingness to perform, creativity and the ability to communicate. This is underlined by exchange programmes with, for example, China. The "mb-cn" characteristic of the Master's course includes a fixed curriculum of study and practical stays in China. Selected industry partners offer grants and there are various courses on sustainability topics (e.g. Blue Engineering).
