Completed technical pre-internship in manufacturing and metalworking processes

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is now one of the most successful mechanical engineering departments in the world and has occupied top places in international rankings for the past several years. Graduates of the Mechanical Engineering Master's course are familiar with the tasks involved in the individual steps of the product development process. They are well versed in experimental problem description, can apply simulation methods and are also able to design and dimension components in a new mechanical engineering development according to the defined objectives and requirements whilst taking into account applicable technical, business, legal and social constraints.

University of Michigan - SJTU Joint Institue UM-SJTU Joint Institute, founded in 2006, represents a strategic global partnership between the two top universities in US and China, University of Michigan and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The Chinese Government and both partner universities are fully committed to develop JI as a world-class institute for engineering education.
