Biomechanical Engineering
Welcome to the Technical Focus Biomechanical Engineering (BME)
Discover our research fields, methodological competences as well as our courses on the following pages.
The BME Group was founded more than 20 years ago and is one of the technical focus areas of the Institute for Mechanical Systems (IMES). Our interdisciplinary working group consists of engineers and natural scientists and we are specialists in the following business and research fields:
Business and research fields
The key to the successful implementation of research and industrial projects lies in our methodological expertise, in the development of medical devices, biomechanical computer models & simulations as well as functional testing methods (according to ISO17025 Type C) and their analyses, developed and established over several years.

We are strongly committed to teaching and offer the specialisation Biomechanical Engineering I and II for Bachelor students of Mechanical Engineering and Systems Engineering as well as for Master students of MSE Medical Engineering.
Interested Bachelor and Master students are given the opportunity to carry out project work and Bachelor and Master theses in ongoing projects with industrial partners. Information on current projects can be found on the pages of the individual business and research fields.
Projects
As part of the reorganization of the research database, the previous lists of research projects are no longer available. Die Zukunft geht in Richtung Volltextsuche und Filterung, um bestmögliche Suchergebnisse für unsere Besucher:innen zur Verfügung zu stellen.
In the meantime, you can easily find the projects via text search using the following link: «To the new search in the project database»
