Vibrant Research - Dense Networks
Over €60 million of third-party funds a year testify to the research strength of the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering. Here, students become involved (with research) at an early stage of their studies. The networking with the non-university research institutions of Dresden is self-explanatory, close and fruitful. The cooperation with the Helmholtz Centres as well as the Frauenhofer and Leibniz Institutes make it easier for students to gain access to industrial and research placements and internships. Every day, more than 1,000 employees work at 14 institutes, including more than 60 professors and over 500 third-party employees.

Research at the Faculty of Mechanical science and engineering
Our faculty advances technological progress. Whether it is products, components, systems, materials, manufacturing processes, technologies, systems or software, engineers are particularly influencing the value chain, which extends from the conception of the ideas to design, development and implementation.
Technological change on the one hand, and the complexity of new systems on the other, require networking also with the fields of social sciences and humanities. The Department of Mechanical Engineering assumes responsibility within the framework of interdisciplinary research. The promotion and support of young scientists is a special matter of concern for our faculty; and we also contribute to the conceptual strengthening of the future for TU Dresden.
