Engineering Technology, Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering

About this programme

The study programme is being implemented in Riga Technical University Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Transport and Aeronautics Department of Theoretical Mechanics and Strength of Materials, in close cooperation with the eight largest technical universities in Europe. The study programme is implemented in Latvian and English, and its duration is three years. During the studies, in the first two years the student acquires fundamental knowledge in the fields of mechanics and mechanical engineering from such study courses as “Mathematics”, “Physics”, “General Chemistry”, “Fundamentals of Computer Science”, “Material Science”, “Theoretical Mechanics”, “Resistance of Materials”. The study programme is focused on the acquisition of in-depth knowledge and skills in the use of computer programmes and simulations (are acquired in the third year of the study courses “Numerical Analysis in Engineering Mechanics”, “Machine Dynamics and Strength”, “Methodology and Technique of Design”), which al
