Department of Mechanical Engineering
Department of Mechanical Engineering
At the Department of Mechanical Engineering, together and with passion, we research, teach, develop and create solutions targeting social need and shaping a safe and efficient future generation of materials, manufacturing, structures, machines, ships, energy flows and systems.
Meet the MECHuman
MECHuman encompasses the department’s human-based organization, with its four research groups and strategy.
Research
The department’s research focuses on developing the next generation of devices, machines and systems. This translates to a focus on new technologies that are more efficient, more durable and thus more sustainable.
Energy Conversion and Systems
Energy Conversion and Systems research group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering
Marine and Arctic Technology
We focus on the behaviour of ships and structures in normal and extreme environments. We do our research by considering the safety of maritime transportation, as well as the experiences the marine environment can offer to cruise vessel passengers.
Materials to Products
Materials to Products research group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronics
Mechatronics design aims to enhance the performance of machines, improve their price-performance ratio and increase functionality.
Education
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers education on the bachelor's, master's and doctoral level.
The department participates in the English-language Bachelor's Programme in Science and Technology through the Computational Engineering major.
Bachelor's degree education in Finnish and Swedish is organised within the Bachelor's Programme in Engineering.
Master's-level education is available in Aalto University master's programmes as well as co-operative and international programmes.
- Aalto University programmes:
- Co-operative and international programmes:
- Innovative Sustainable Energy Engineering (Nordic Master)
- Maritime Engineering (Nordic Master)
- Cold Climate Engineering (Nordic Master)
- Environomical Pathways for Sustainable Energy Systems (SELECT)
- Additive Manufacturing for Full Flexibility (EIT)
- Zero Defect Manufacture for a Circular Economy (EIT)
Doctoral studies at the Department of Mechanical Engineering are part of the Aalto Doctoral Programme in Engineering.
Infrastructure
The department makes use of a variety of high-quality infrastructure located around the Aalto University campus in Otaniemi.
ADDLAB, Aalto University Digital Design Laboratory
ADDLAB, Aalto University Digital Design Laboratory, is a research organization initiated by the Aalto University's School of Engineering and School of Arts, Design and Architecture.
Aalto Ice and Wave Tank
Aalto Ice and Wave Tank is a multipurpose basin ideally suited for testing ships and other maritime structures in ice conditions.
Industrial Internet Campus
Aalto University Industrial Internet Campus (AIIC) is a platform for students, researchers, and companies to innovate and co-create smart, connected products and services. Industrial Internet Campus enables multidisciplinary research, education and innovation together with industrial partners.
