Welcome to our website!
At the Chair of Engineering Design, we research, improve and validate new processes, methods and tools to support demanding development- and design activities. We are active in the fields of virtual product development and design methodology, machine elements and tribology as well as lightweight design. Through our research and teaching activities, we create the foundation for innovative, new or optimized products and thus contribute to maintaining and strengthening the industrial base in Europe. We would like to invite you to learn more about us during your stay on our website!
