Bachelor's Programme in Mechanical Engineering (Double Degree) combines creative product development, design, and modeling with efficient production that involves automation and robotization. It takes materials, processing, and the management of people and goods into consideration.

The bachelor's in Mechanical and Sustainable Engineering at Arcada has a clear focus – sustainable materials and engineering design. In this programme, engineering, sustainability and digitalisation have been merged together to benefit our modern-day society.

The degree programme in Mechanical Engineering gives you in-depth knowledge of the operation and design of mechanical equipment, project work and management, manufacturing methods, production and materials. Together, these form a solid foundation for a mechanical engineering specialist.

The Master's Program in Mechanical Engineering offers several unique multi-disciplinary specialization packages, such as digital engineering, industrial design, hybrid materials, and additive manufacturing, which support traditional mechanical engineering. You will be studying in well-equipped facilities, and many of your classes will take place in high-tech labs that enable computer modeling, 3D imaging, and virtual reality for conducting experiments.

The Degree Program in Mechanical Engineering prepares you for an international career in the fields of machine and automation design, production planning, and research and development.

If you enjoy solving technological problems and want to create sustainable solutions for people and the needs of the future, this might be the program for you. A mechanical engineer in Sustainable Design Engineering knows how to find the real needs of people and organizations, designs products, machines and services in creative cooperation, and respects the natural world and future well-being by making sure that the designs have a sustainable basis.

The Digital Manufacturing specialization track trains professionals with thorough theoretical understanding and practical skills in next-generation 3D printing, other digital manufacturing, and traditional manufacturing technologies.

Sustainability is a megatrend that is on everyone’s agenda, and it will surely even increase its importance during the next decades. Engineers develop products and solutions to the markets, and the markets reflect our values. In our new bachelor´s degree you will specialize in Sustainable Mechanical Engineering and it will guarantee your professional competitiveness in job markets.

Chemical and process engineering applies chemistry, physics, and mathematics to develop technology. Chemical and process engineering is a good choice if you are interested in natural sciences, chemistry, or technology and want to address challenges related to sustainable production and the circular economy.

In the Smart Systems track, you will have access to skills and knowledge that will enable you to design and develop cutting-edge smart technologies for a wide variety of applications and in various branches of industry.

In Digital Design studies, you will develop design thinking to create and optimize products, services, and systems with a human-oriented approach.

Mechanical engineering and production technology graduates have the necessary design, production and automation skills required in mechanical engineering. In addition, they are well-versed in materials technology, which is necessary for the selection of raw materials. They also have deep and up-to-date knowledge about either design of mechanical systems or production systems. In each of these areas, mechanical engineers are able to utilize the relevant computer-based tools. Graduates also master all general working life needs, like economic thinking, ability to work in teams and communication skills.

You will study machines and production line planning, production and maintenance. In mechanical design your studies will concentrate on designing and developing machines and machine systems for the mechanical and metal industry. You will study production operations, development and techniques as well as production system automatisation and organising resources.
