Organisation profile
Organisation profile
The research of the department of Mechanical Engineering is focused on three divisions, namely:
- Computational and Experimental Mechanics (CEM), focused on mechanics and materials
- Dynamical Systems Design (DSD), focused on systems, dynamics and control
- Thermo Fluids Engineering (TFE), focused on heat and flow
Each division consists of a number of sections, and each section consists of a number of groups. Because the department gives plenty of space for interdisciplinary research, research within these sections is both conceptual and methodological. This distinguishes the department of Mechanical Engineering at TU/e from other departments of Mechanical Engineering in the Netherlands.
