Which further expertise and skills will I acquire? Education

As a graduate of the Master of Science Program in

Computational Mechanics you have developed a portfolio of skills . Any
and competences in the field of numerical simulation, modeling of questions on
studying
engineering problems for a consequent numerical simulation as

models and their limitations, the artifacts which can be created
during the modeling and evaluation process as well as the
possible expansions of models. You develop and derive new . Departmental

are able to assess a range of software tools.
Council

Furthermore, you are capable of applying and evaluating different

programming principles, the underlying partial differential
equations for various problems and the assumptions for material
descriptions and low and high frequency analyses.

Which professional opportunities can I take up

with this qualification?

As a graduate with a M.Sc. in COME you are able to work in

many different areas as you gain a deep understanding in
mechanics, programming, modeling and simulation. You can start
a career e.g. as software engineer or design, calculation and
simulation engineer, respectively.
