MSc in Mechanical Engineering Modeling at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME)

This course deals with those time-dependent problems of mechanical engineering, which typically require the efficient modelling of these tasks in order to access the continuously developing methods of computational engineering.

Modelling means the understanding and active application of the related theories, which are supported by differential equations and numerical methods in mathematics. Modelling needs also experimental work during the research development-innovation process in case engineers do not have enough information about the motions and processes they want to capture by a model .

• The Faculty of Transportation Engineering has been training engineers for the field of transportation and vehicle engineering since 1951. Since that time the profile of engineering training has been widened several times. • In the academic year of 2006/2007 as a first step of the new type of linear training, at the Faculty of Transportation Engineering, training began at the transportation engineering basic specialty (BSc); in that framework knowledge related to transport, transportation, and mechanization can be attained including knowledge in connection with processes realized in the listed fields and also knowledge related to machines, equipment (vehicles and mobile machinery) realizing those processes.

• From the academic year 2010/2011 our Faculty launched vehicle basic specialty (BSc), its task is to acquiant students with the design, operation, and control systems of vehicles.

• In the academic year 2008/2009, the Faculty began, as the second stage of the new type of linear training (BSc), the master logistics engineering and vehicle engineering.

’s program of three Faculties (MSc): specialties in transportation engineering, • With adequate BSc qualification, a certified engineering qualification can be obtained in 2 years at these master ’s training specialties. All the fundamental and complementary studies pursued at the Faculty are carried out in accordance with the rules of the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). • The quantity of student work necessary for acquiring the knowledge material of an arbitrary subject is measured through credit-points. One credit-point means in average 30 hours of work for a student, one semester contains a study material with the quantity of 30 credit-points.

Minimum condition of course initiation: 5 (or more) paid student status.
