Department of Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering has been an integral part of the HTWG Konstanz - University of Applied Sciences Konstanz since the engineering college was founded by Alfred Wachtel in 1906.

Mechanical engineering is one of the three largest employers in Germany. Currently, career prospects for graduates of mechanical engineering are very good.
We believe that a degree in mechanical engineering is the best foundation for later broadening one's knowledge in the direction of computer science or electrical engineering. Many industrial companies confirm this. Many are looking for mechanical engineers who also have knowledge of computer science or electrical engineering. We meet this demand by constantly adapting our courses to industry requirements.
Of course, we also cover the basics of electrical engineering and electric drives in the bachelor's degree programs.
And, of course, our students get to know the modern simulation tools and gain practical programming experience in the laboratories.
