Descriptions

Structure of studies and courses in degree programme Mechanical and Production Engineering are described in curriculum.

The professional background of the mechanical engineering degree program consists of design, construction, development, operation and control of products, devices and machineries of mechanical engineering. The aim of the studies is to achieve the basic knowledge of the main areas of the mechanical engineering to ensure wide career opportunities in trade and industrial sectors.

Learning in mechanical engineering studies is based on innovation pedagogy. It means that learning is active and social action by students, who are responsible of their learning by themselves. Motivation and positive attitude are the basis of life-long studies. Studies are made in close co-operation with working life.

Learning and teaching methods are versatile, including contact lessons, problem based learning, virtual courses, laboratory work, practical works and project works.

The degree program in mechanical engineering contains basic studies, professional studies, optional studies, a Bachelor’s thesis and practical training. Courses including marketing, sales, business and/or foreign languages are highly recommended as optional studies (15 ects).

Internationalization is part of the studies from the beginning of the studies. Foreign languages are trained in their own courses, but also many course material and many reports and project works are carried out in english. It's highly recommended to students to achieve work and study experience in foreign countries during studies.

The student is given support in making his/her personal study plan and curriculum, in solving study problems and in managing different problem situations of life. Guidance is also used to prevent discontinuation of studies by supporting students in making the right choices. The tutor teacher gives individual and group guidance, guides the student's learning and his/her study process, supports the student in the making of his/her personal study plan and provides practical assistance. The student tutorsupports and guides new students and familiarizes them with the studies and the study environment. Support is also given to process the bachelor's thesis.

Objective

Mechanical engineers are required to have a strong mathematical and natural science core competence, basic engineering know-how, knowledge in one of the specialization areas they select and good working life skills. These are networking skills, language skills and interaction skills required by the international environment. In addition to the field-specific competences, the cross-cutting aim of the studies is the innovation competencies required by working life at individual, community and networking level. Targeted innovation competencies are critical thinking, initiative, creativity, teamwork, and systems thinking.

Development

The students learn to take responsibility for their studies and acquire new study skills. The studies include contact lessons and independent studies of business literature as well as assignments, practical training and team work. Cooperation with companies plays an essential role throughout the studies. Commissions from companies enhance learning and create contacts and networks for working life and innovation competences are trained by applying theory into practice.

Pedagogic solutions contribute to the students’ ability to work in changing conditions and their ability to adopt the concept of lifelong learning.

Further information

Studies are evaluated on the basis of oral and written examinations, exercises and other performances. The grading scale is excellent (5), good (4 and 3), satisfactory (2 and 1), passed and failed.

The programme uses a variety of evaluation methods to review the quality of the programme. The programme is developed together with companies. A variety of methods is used to find out students’ views: eg. module feedback, annual feedback questionnaires and conversations with student representatives.
