The master's program in Engineering Design covers product development and its growing complexity driven by rising demands for functionality, sustainability, and innovation. Students in the program acquire essential technical and organizational skills for the successful development and engineering of a wide range of technical products.
Engineering Design with specialisation in Machine Design
The master's programme in Engineering Design provides tools, models and methodologies for designing mechanical products and industrial systems.
Engineering Design student Suranjan's degree project contributes to amputees' quality of life
The first semester starts with courses introducing various aspects of engineering design and enhancing essential skills within the subject. For the second and third semesters, you will learn how to create, select, dimension, optimise and verify high-quality and cost-effective technical products. We supply these skills through efficient aid and support from industrially relevant, state-of-the-art tools and methods. Students learn to develop and engineer innovative technical systems and high-performing components and acquire a holistic design approach and specialist knowledge. The programme culminate in the advanced project courses that tackle real-life industrial challenges or research problems in close cooperation with industrial companies. Throughout the programme, traditional lectures, exercises, seminars, assignments and laboratory experiments are learning tools in the courses.
Mechatronics track
The Mechatronics track of the master's programme in Engineering Design has been transformed into a new programme.
- Master's programme in Mechatronics
Students in the programme will specialise in Machine Design. You will learn how to create, select, dimension, optimise and verify high-quality and cost-effective technical products. We supply these skills through efficient aid and support from industrially relevant, state-of-the-art tools and methods. The programme focuses on developing and engineering innovative technical systems and high-performing components and relies on a holistic design approach and specialist knowledge.
Your degree will conclude with an individual degree project in which you work closely with local industry or a KTH research group.
This is a two-year programme (120 ECTS credits) given in English. Graduates are awarded the degree of Master of Science. The programme is given mainly at KTH Campus in Stockholm by the School of Industrial Engineering and Management (at KTH).
