Engineers model real-world systems and processes for which observational data is available. Models are mathematical equations that must be solved. The IAM equips students with all the necessary skills in both disciplines. In the first semesters, we teach the fundamentals of engineering mechanics. By reducing the problem to its most essential properties, an analytical solution of mechanical systems is possible here. For more realistic models, this is generally no longer the case: here, numerical engineering methods are employed.
Transitioning from Bachelor's to Master's, the focus becomes entirely on modeling real systems, including the use of machine learning methods. The resulting differential equations can no longer be solved analytically. Therefore, students learn the finite element method, the standard solution procedure for differential equations. In addition, we offer further elective courses that provide in-depth knowledge in many modern engineering applications.
