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.  

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. 

3 reasons to study in Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology!

• You have job opportunities in Finland and abroad.
• You learn in practical projects in collaboration with companies in your field.
• You can have an impact on sustainability in production and manufacturing.

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
