Program Overview

The first year of the Bachelor's studies is mainly focused on acquiring scientific tools, such as analysis or physics, and complemented by some more specific classes ranging from introduction to mechanical engineering to statics or metals and alloys. The second and third years provide an in-depth treatment of the foundations of mechanical engineering, from automatic-control engineering to thermodynamics and vibration mechanics. A final Bachelor's project, bringing together the different theoretical topics, completes the undergraduate degree.
