Interdisciplinary and Diverse

From pacemakers to vehicles and energy systems to factories: Mechanical engineering in Stuttgart combines the know-how to develop, design, build and (autonomously) control a wide variety of machines and sustainable, socio-technical systems. By socio-technical systems we mean the interaction of people and machines, i.e. complex and usually adaptable systems with people at the core, who interact with technical components.
