Organisational Unit
The Institute of Machine Components and Methods of Development, with its focus (drive technology, systems engineering and sensor technology), is at the center of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and Business Economics, alongside other basic institutes. In addition to its teaching and research activities, the institute has intensive industrial collaborations. In the area of teaching, we aim to teach students everything they need to know about machine elements and development methodology. We teach a broad, interdisciplinary spectrum of methods for design, simulation, testing and development in the field of machine elements. Within the framework of our industrial cooperation, we create a network with the field of teaching by awarding numerous Master's theses, Bachelor's theses, dissertations and scientific publications. We work on projects with a focus on the following areas: • Drive technology • Model based systems engineering MBSE • Product Lifecycle Management • Sensor technology We are partners for the entire development process and cover it completely through our multi-layered areas of activity. The transfer of knowledge between the various fields of work guarantees that there is always an optimum increase in experience and that this can be used as “lessons learned” for new projects or for our students. Interdisciplinary action is an important maxim at our institute. We make the best possible use of the resources of TU Graz and other universities. Thanks to the many projects carried out jointly with various institutes, we can draw on a large network with many contacts. This also helps us to expand our knowledge in a very wide range of areas.
