Alumni testimonials
It's acted like a lighthouse to steer my career towards the right direction by giving me both the Material Engineering knowledge and Production Engineering Knowledge which are two crucial parameters for product development and help me succeed in the decision making and my role.
Master's Programme in Production and Materials Engineering is well designed by taking multiple backgrounds into consideration. Starting from the product design phase until it gets produced; all the phases that a product goes through have been taken into consideration by including concepts related to product design (for ex. CAD, Ansys), Manufacturing operations, Materials and their properties and various types of production systems.
Workshop course has done wonders for me personally, as I am now working in collaboration with the production team; I am able to relate both my design and workshop knowledge to prepare better designs and instructions.
The courses have helped me to gain theoretical knowledge of current industrial aspects and provided me with ample opportunities to find my desired interest area to work on. It cultivated me to constantly learn and exceed future possibilities.
The programme is very comprehensive and vast. It covers both fields of production technology and materials science and engineering. The assignments involved in the courses and the final master thesis were something that challenged me the most.
The courses like advanced manufacturing, production technology, and master thesis subject helped me to land a job in Sweden. The mandatory seminars and the presentations have improved my communication.
