Introduction
The Creative Technology Study for Our Future
Mechanical engineering is omnipresent in our modern world. We travel in cars, trains or airplanes. All of our consumer goods are manufactured using manufacturing and production machines, etc. All of these machines are designed, developed and optimized by mechanical engineers who use the most modern methods of calculation, CAD, materials science, thermodynamics or simulation for their creative work. Mechanical engineering graduates are therefore in high demand, especially in the industrial state of Upper Austria.
Easy start - focused, fast and yet flexible
