The section SDU Mechanical Engineering (ME) focuses on issues within mechanical design, structural dynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transmission and  also materials technology. 

Research in  structural dynamics  include mathematical modelling, condition monitorering,structural health monitoring  and modal analysis of  supporting structures in e.g. windmills and offshore constructions.  

Research in fluid mechanics focuses  on experimental and numeric fluid mechanics (CFD) within environmental improvement  such as reduced use of pesticides and in catalysts for  diesel engines. 

In the field of  materials technology focus is on  fiber materials,  and under this the use of  plant fibres and also new methods of production.  

Within  mechanical design research focuses on construction projects both i collaboration with the industry and internally  at TEK, primarily with SDU Robotics, SDU Health Informatics and Technology, SDU Energy Informatics and SDU UAS Centre. 

 The SDU Mechanical Engineering section is affiliated with   two programmes;

• Bachelor of engineering in Mechanical Engineering, and
• MSc in Structural Engineering, that is a Master's for both  Bachelor of engineering in Mechanical Engineering and Bachelor  of engineering in Civil Engineering

The section contributes to the education in both programmes and also to a number of other programmes, in which mechanics and  materials technology are part of the programme education.
