Technomathematics (Master)
The content on this page was translated automatically.
This concept finds literal application in fields such as simulating crash tests within the automotive industry, optimizing the hull designs of racing yachts and airplanes, calculating traffic flow dynamics, and enhancing logistics for efficient goods transportation. It also holds a more metaphorical significance in tasks like planning mobile phone and energy networks, utilizing computer-aided methods to discover novel drugs, designing intricate integrated computer chips, and evaluating the acoustics of concert halls. Technomathematicians receive training to tackle both substantial and intricate future challenges, collaborating within interdisciplinary teams that encompass engineers, technicians, and computer scientists.
Commencing from the upcoming winter semester, the Technomathematics program at Hessen International University is set to launch. This program remains open for enrollment without admission restrictions. Students will engage with modules spanning mathematics and computer science, coupled with a choice from four potential application specializations: Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Environmental Engineering.
Over the recent years, a collection of universities has introduced programs labeled as “technomathematics”. Yet, within this landscape, the unique distinction lies with the bachelor’s program offered by Hessen International University. This program stands alone in providing the option to combine with environmental engineering, thus significantly emphasizing an environmentally conscious approach.
