Bachelor in Mechanics and machine design

Silesian University of Technology offers Mechanics and Machine Design as a bachelor's program taught in English over seven semesters, with yearly tuition of 4600 EUR. Graduates gain knowledge of design methods, engineering computation, materials-processing technologies, investigation methods and the IT techniques used to assist machine design, manufacturing and maintenance. The program builds skills in mechanics, strength of materials and materials selection, applying contemporary computational tools alongside management of the design process, and it also covers pro-ecological technologies and integrated environmental systems. The course is based on the Polish Mechanics and Machine Design program, with selected courses merged into modules to keep the curriculum more compact. The study plan includes modules in mathematics, physics and statistics; information technology and programming; technical courses covering algorithms and data structures, numerical methods, computer simulation, and CAD/CAM/CAE systems; automation and robotics; and metallurgy, welding and materials engineering, concluding with an engineering mid-project in the final semester. Graduates typically find work in companies engaged in the design, manufacturing and operation of machinery, including design offices and roles connected to production planning and the automation of technological processes. The program also builds broad knowledge and skills in metallurgy and materials science relevant to manufacturing industries. Mechanical engineering as a field more generally trains students to analyze forces, materials and mechanisms, preparing them for careers spanning automotive, aerospace, energy and industrial machinery sectors. Programs combine theoretical coursework with laboratory work and computer-aided design practice, giving graduates a foundation for further study or direct entry into engineering roles across manufacturing and technology industries.
