Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology

With the Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology degree, you have a broad knowledge base in mathematics and natural sciences.

You will have the necessary design, production and automation skills required in the field of mechanical engineering. In addition, you are well-versed in materials technology, which is necessary for the selection of raw materials. You will also have deep and up-to-date knowledge about either the design of mechanical systems or production systems. In each of these areas, mechanical engineers are able to utilize the relevant computer-based tools.

As a graduate, you will also master all general working life needs, like economic thinking, ability to work in teams and communication skills.

The first two years of studies are similar for all mechanical engineering and production technology students, and after that, you can choose one or more of the following 15 credit profiling study modules:

• design of industrial appliances
• structural analysis
• manufacturing automation in the workshop.

Profiling study modules are in total 75 credits, so you may also choose:

• advanced mathematics study module, which is recommended for students who aim to apply for master studies after completing a bachelor’s degree
• studies from the mechanical engineering degree program conducted in the Finnish language
• industrial management online studies (read more about these below)
• studies from other degree programs at HAMK (for example 15 credit Maintenance study module from electrical and automation engineering in Valkeakoski campus)
• summer studies from HAMK and other universities of applied science
• international exchange studies in partner universities abroad.

Industrial Management studies complete mechanical engineering studies

The profession of an engineer requires not only professional skills and competence but also understanding of entireties as well as managing them. In the studies of industrial management, logistics and business operations you will combine the perspective of business economics to your engineering studies. You will learn to lead and manage projects, plan and develop production, supply chains and industrial services. All these are extremely important skills needed in the field of engineering.

Industrial management studies consist of four 15 credit study modules and a couple of individual courses, creating in total more than 70 credits of optional professional studies. You can choose to study 1-4 modules (15-60 credits) from these studies.

Possible study plan:

Production systems

Design of mechanical systems

After graduation, you will become a well-recognized expert in cross-cultural teams and projects thanks to your strong skills in English and intercultural communication, which also opens the door to many career opportunities.

As a Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology graduate, you are going to have a wide range of career choices around the world. A typical employer is a design engineering office, small- or medium-size workshop or a large global company. A common career path may lead to expert tasks, managerial duties or entrepreneurship.
