Learn to design machines, solve problems and program robots! Mechanical engineering is a versatile modern field. 

Mechanical engineering can be seen everywhere in our society from wind turbines to engines to your device on which you are reading this description.

If you want to learn how different things are assembled and manufactured or how you could develop more responsible products for the future, mechanical engineering is for you.

As a mechanical engineer you are a sought-after professional in the field of technology. In HAMK you use digital design and simulation when you learn to design machines and products in practical working life cases. First you design something new and then materialise your concept with for example 3D printing.

Ob­ject­ive

You will learn to design and develop intelligent machines, equipment and automated production for the needs of our future. You will focus on the design of machines and mechanical systems, production technology, modern manufacturing methods as well as simulation and modelling. You learn to use digital design, robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D scanning and 3D printing in your work.  

Qual­i­fic­a­tion provided by edu­ca­tion

You will become an engineer who can solve problems, design new and develop the old with a wide range of career choices around the world. A typical employer is a design engineering office, small- or medium-size workshop or a large global company. A common career path may lead to expert tasks, managerial duties or entrepreneurship. 

Struc­ture of stud­ies

Mechanical engineering and production technology is applied and needed in all industries. That is why you will learn strong general engineering skills with us, such as problem solving and analysis skills. At the same time you specialise in the design of machines, devices, products and production in various digital design environments. 

You study in real projects in close cooperation with local companies in the field. In addition to the design work, you will learn project management and customer-oriented design thinking which are necessary in working life. 

You also gain the expertise needed for future sustainable development solutions. You will learn how to lead and manage projects and how to plan and develop production, supply chains and industrial services. With material choices, optimization, repairability and recyclability aspects you are able to influence on the economical, ecological and social sustainability of production and manufacturing. 

In addition to traditional material technology, you will learn modern product development, such as reverse engineering. You will learn to utilize developing technologies such as 3D modelling, robotics, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. 

The first two years of your studies, the core competence is the same for all Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology students.

Spe­cial­iz­a­tion op­tions

After you have completed the core competence studies, you start your profiling studies by choosing two or more of the profiling modules based on your own interests:  

  • 3D Engineering 
  • Design of Industrial Appliances 
  • Manufacturing Automation in a Workshop 
  • Robotics
  • Structural Analysis

For Stu­dents liv­ing in Fin­land

Study Paths – Open Studies Leading to a Degree

In our Study Paths, you will complete studies that are part of a degree program as a student of the Open University of Applied Sciences, alongside degree students. Once you have completed the required amount of studies with the necessary grades, you can apply to become a degree student and continue your studies to completion as usual.

Students outside of Finland: As Open University Studies are not leading to a degree it is not possible to get a residence permit only for that purpose.
