Why study Industrial Mechanical Engineering?
Tomorrow’s chips require extreme precision, with features at the sub-nanometer scale, demanding highly advanced machines for their production. The Master’s in Mechanical Engineering builds on a solid technical foundation to let you specialise in high-tech machine design for cutting-edge chip manufacturing.
This broad master’s programme offers a diverse range of specialisations in mechanical engineering, allowing you to build expertise in areas such as solid and fluid mechanics, materials science, control, robotics, tribology, and more. You will develop knowledge and skills to contribute to the design of ultra-precise machinery for the production of chips themselves – think of wafer stages, thermal management systems, and motion platforms in lithography machines.
This master’s prepares you for a broad range of engineering positions within the chip industry and beyond. Graduates work in research & development departments of different types of high-tech industrial companies, but also at research institutes engineering/consultancy firms.
You can even go on to start up your own company! Demcon, a key player within the Twente semiconductor cluster and important supplier to many high-tech companies like ASML, was once founded by a Mechanical Engineering graduate.
