Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

Technische Universität Dortmund Dortmund · North Rhine-Westphalia

About the Program

Many technical processes are not initially implemented in practice, but rather simulated in computers. For example, in order to find out how long a component can withstand mechanical loads and when it will first start to crack, it is not necessary to perform destructive testing of the actual, often expensive components or machines; instead, the answers being sought can be obtained through models and simulations. Here, technomathematicians take part in intelligent product development, for example by creating and optimizing complex simulations. The Bachelor's degree program leads to a first professional qualification; it also prepares the graduate to pursue a Master's degree in (Techno)Mathematics. The initial phase of the program imparts the fundamental mathematical content and methods in the areas of analysis and linear algebra and runs parallel to the mathematics program; in addition, the basics of computer science are covered. Beginning in the second year of study, introductory software courses are offered as block courses (1-2 weeks) during the lecture-free periods. Later, elements of numeric and optimization in particular are added to prepare for topics in mathematical model building and scientific computing. Another core activity for professional qualification is the study project "Modeling and Simulation." In addition to mathematics, a minor subject related to Technomathematics is studied. Available minor subjects include: Structural Mechanics and Statics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Physics, and Technical Mechanics.
