Master of Science (M.Sc.)Resource Efficiency in Mechanical Engineering
Resource efficiency makes sense from an economic and ecological point of view. Even for mechanical engineering companies, which today more than ever are caught between the three influencing factors of environment, society and technology, the efficient use of resources is the key factor for success. The Master’s programme teaches you procedures and technologies that enable promising products to optimally fulfil their function with the lowest possible consumption of materials and energy.
You will deepen your theoretical knowledge in the future topics of mechanical engineering. In research projects you learn the basics of scientific work and apply current engineering methods. The curriculum also includes modules that train your social competence and soft skills.
Reducing material and energy costs, thereby optimising the competitiveness of production are the skills your future employer can rely on. With your specialist knowledge, you will be an expert in optimally aligning products and processes to the targets of sustainability and resource conservation.
Your career prospects
With your qualification, you will start as a specialist or manager in the following industries:
Mechanical engineering and customised mechanical engineering
Automotive and automotive supply industry
Mechanical and thermal process engineering
Engineering and services.
Alternatively, you can take the promising path of a doctorate.

Individual specialist in fields of application in Mechanical Engineering in research and development projects and in the Master’s thesis
The numerous research activities in mechanical engineering at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences enable students to get involved in current research work as part of their Master’s thesis. A continuation as part of a doctorate is also possible.
Lecturers with practical experience impart application- and future-oriented teaching content.
Insights into business and specialist fields
“During my studies at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, I learned to approach issues analytically. This method now helps me with the development of strategies for my customers. I also appreciated the comfortable group sizes in the semesters. They enabled exchange with the teaching staff and promoted the learning process. My tip: During your studies, take advantage of the opportunity to gain insights into different companies and departments.”
Larissa Tropp, Alumna of the Master's degree programme in Resource Efficiency in Mechanical Engineering
Excellent laboratories
I started my Mechanical Engineering studies directly after my vocational training as an industrial mechanic. During the training, I worked a lot with mechanical engineers and I really liked their areas of responsibility. I chose Esslingen University of Applied Sciences because it has a very good reputation in education and teaching Among other things, Esslingen University of Applied Sciences has very good laboratories where you can put your theoretical knowledge into practice and maintains very good regional contacts with large companies.
