The future of mechanical engineering: digital and sustainable
Diverse career opportunities with in-depth knowledge in digitalization or refrigeration, air conditioning and environmental technology
Graduates of the Master's program in Mechanical Engineering at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences can expect very good career conditions after graduation.
This is because our specializations of Digitalization in Product Design and Energy Efficiency in Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Environmental Technology are specifically geared to the pressing issues of our time.
On the one hand, digitalization is changing all areas of industry and business at a rapid pace. Automation is creating new job profiles in the engineering sector as well. With the corona crisis, moreover, digitization is likely to become more important in many industrial companies to safeguard their core business.

On the other hand, in the 21st century we face major challenges in climate matters, which we must counter with increased energy efficiency. This calls for new innovations to be developed and implemented by experts in the field of refrigeration, air conditioning, and environmental technology.
Depending on the specialization you choose for your studies, the doors or positions will be open to you in sought-after professional fields. This is because well-trained engineers are desperately sought after on the job market, despite the supposed crises.
