Master in Mechanics and machine design

The tuition fee is 6,542 USD per year.

Silesian University of Technology's master's program in Mechanics and Machine Design is taught in English over three semesters, with yearly tuition of 5600 EUR. Within the program, the university trains graduates as qualified professionals in the design and operation of aircraft propulsion systems, covering both turbine and piston engines. Students gain knowledge of the thermal and fluid-flow phenomena occurring within aero engines, approaching the subject both through underlying theory and through mathematical modeling using professional software, with particular attention paid to structural issues in engine drivers, especially the thermal loading of engine components. The course list includes aircraft design methodology, material technologies in aviation, aerodynamics, thermodynamics for aircraft propulsion, basic airside safety, air transport fundamentals, and flight simulators, alongside environmental protection in aviation and the thermal challenges facing aircraft applications. Students also study air piston engines, combustion and the combustion chamber of turbine engines, environmental impact and thermoeconomic evaluation in the aviation sector, internal-process modeling of aircraft engines, aircraft engine design, and propeller and jet propulsion systems. Further courses cover numerical modeling of external flows, numerical methods used in the design and maintenance of aircraft propulsion systems, aviation engine technologies, thermal stresses, aircraft engine control systems and arrangements, and recent advancements in aircraft engine design. This specialization suits mechanical engineering graduates aiming for careers in aerospace propulsion, including roles at aircraft engine manufacturers, maintenance and overhaul organizations, and aviation research institutes, where expertise in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and control systems is applied to keep aircraft engines efficient, safe and compliant with environmental standards.
