Take your engineering skills to the next level
The M.Sc. CAME focuses on computer simulations to create digital replicas of technical objects and systems to provide simulation solutions for complex design tasks in mechanical engineering. The program combines sound knowledge in manufacturing, design, automation, production as well as simulations and thus enables you to develop computer-aided designs and manage advanced simulation projects. Gain in-depth process and technology expertise and develop a strong profile as a computational engineer to meet the challenges of today’s changing manufacturing and production.
As an M.Sc. CAME student, you will learn to
- design, apply and optimize cutting-edge simulation technology for high-tech products
- engineer computer simulation software and simulation programs to enhance mechanical design and production
- read and understand complex technical drawings
- develop and deploy computer-aided systems for industrial production processes
The CAME program is under the academic direction of the Institute of General Mechanics (IAM), one of the oldest institutes at RWTH Aachen University. In its research, the IAM focuses on the broad field of Digital Engineering involving advanced modeling and simulation methods as well as artificial intelligence. Research insights from key topics in the context of Industry 4.0 such as predictive maintenance, digital twins and cyber physical systems flow directly into the curriculum and prepare you master the challenges of digital transformation.
Your studies – your choice: Choose a study track
To equip you with the specialization you need for your individual career path, we offer two study tracks in the M.Sc. CAME:
Conception of Machines
In this design-oriented track you will focus on
- the development and application of modern computer-aided methods focused on construction and dimensioning of structures and systems
- simulation solutions for highly complex computer-aided drawings
- the improvement of computer-aided designs according to operational requirements
Production of Machines
In this production-oriented track you will focus on
- the development and use of computer-aided systems in modern industrial production
- the design of manufacturing processes
- the life cycle prediction of materials, elements, and components
Get an idea of the program
The. M.Sc. CAME consists of track-specific compulsory courses and electives. In the third semester, you will benefit from an integrated mobility window to complete a nine-week internship or write a mini-thesis with a research institute.
