Computational Methods in Engineering Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg

Overview

Graduates of Computational Methods in Engineering at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg specialize in simulating structures, fluids, thermomechanical processes, and electromechanical interactions, and are capable of translating complex physical systems into mechanical models and utilizing appropriate tools to predict system behavior through advanced numerical analysis.

Career Perspectives

The methods in the field of Computational Methods in Engineering are the future-oriented techniques that modern engineers need. Typical applications include among others:

• 3D structural analysis, nonlinear dynamics, optimization, multibody dynamics, crash simulations, and acoustics in automotive engineering and general mechanical engineering
• Fluid-structure interaction, structural optimization, supersonic flight properties, and high-temperature loads in aerodynamics and process engineering
• Material models (e.g. bones, tissue), prostheses, implants, and artificial blood vessels in biomechanics and medical technology

Graduates will work professionally at the interfaces between mechanical engineering, process engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and mathematics as specialists in numerical analysis and simulation of complex technical problems. They bridge the gap between classical engineering disciplines, mathematics, computer science, and software development.
