Wegbeschreibung Website

TUM School of Engineering and Design (ED) der Technischen Universität München (TUM) We believe that entrepreneurship and social responsibility go hand in hand.

TUM School of Engineering and Design (ED) at Technical University of Munich (TUM) carries out world-class research and teaching at the interface of engineering and design. Established on 1st October 2021 from a merger of five former faculties, it bundles its competencies at the campuses Munich, Garching and Ottobrunn/Taufkirchen in eight departments: Aerospace & Geodesy, Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Energy and Process Engineering, Engineering Physics and Computation, Mechanical Engineering, Mobility Systems Engineering und Materials Engineeringy. Our unique blend of engineering and design programs enables us to train students who can impact the entire lifecycle of the built environment, from planning to design to construction. Our job is to channel their enthusiasm for innovation and technology into real products by providing them with the construction and management skills they need. Our school represents an inclusive and enthusiastic community of staff, students and professional partners who recognise that what they do, design and develop will have a lasting impact on the fabric of society. Joining this school is your opportunity to leave a tangible imprint on our neighbourhoods of the future – locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. The quality of the professional experience and expertise of the staff in the School – and the industry links and connections they facilitate – will help you forge a meaningful understanding of how to plan, design, construct, protect and maintain the world around us. And how together we can collaborate with industry to make a real-world difference.

What does the daily work of a woman in construction management really look like? 🏗️

TUM alumna Theresa Grill takes you behind the scenes of her work – from the construction site to the office and back.

As a construction manager specializing in building restoration and mastic asphalt at LEONHARD WEISS, she breaks down how to analyze errors, find lasting solutions, and keep structures standing strong for decades to come. And she shares how a master’s in Civil Engineering at TUM sparked her passion for concrete repair.

This episode is part of „Shaping the Future – Women Engineers in Practice,“ a film series by the Diversity Office of the TUM School of Engineering and Design.

Prof. Benjamin Busam teaches machines to see and understand the world in 3D. In our latest interview, he shares insights into one of the most dynamic fields in AI: 3D computer vision.

Prof. Busam, newly appointed to the Professorship of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing at the TUM School of Engineering and Design, creates realistic digital twins of our world - precise, photorealistic, and as easy to capture as a simple photo. His team combines data from cameras, drones, satellites, laser scans, and more. He also aims to democratize 3D technology so that anyone can build a digital twin using just a smartphone.

And he hopes to inspire young people to discover the vast potential of geodesy - a field shaping the future of robotics, environmental monitoring, medicine, autonomous systems, and beyond.

Shape the future of our planet with Geodesy at TUM 🛰️🗺️

Do you love exploring the world? Are you fascinated by geography, physics, and mathematics? And would you like to study at one of the world’s leading universities? Then the Bachelor’s program Geodesy and Earth Observation at the .muenchen might be exactly what you’re looking for.

During your studies, you will observe, measure, and visualize the Earth. Using satellites, laser scanning, and drone imagery, you will collect data, create interactive maps, and develop 3D models of our planet. You will learn how to process spatial geodata — the foundation for building digital representations of the world — and work on topics related to the environment and climate.

Your work can help answer important questions about the future of our planet: Will dams remain stable? Is a mountain trail safe to hike? Are we approaching critical climate tipping points?

You will strengthen your team spirit in practical exercises. You can try out a variety of courses and conduct research on current projects. Munich offers you a cosmopolitan city with a heart and many international companies that promise you good career opportunities - in the region and abroad.

Discover the fascinating world of geodesy at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) - where observing and digitizing the earth is your future.

Apply from May 15 to July 15!

„Artistic practice is an anti-convergent strategy,“ says Sophie Erlund, our new Professor for Arts in Architecture .tum . With a background in fine art, interdisciplinary research, and over a decade , she explores the intersection of sculpture, space, and artificial intelligence. Rather than replacing creativity, she sees AI as a tool for critical engagement and new artistic possibilities.

At TUM, Prof. Erlund aims to expand the boundaries of sculpture, integrating immersive technologies while fostering a space for questioning, experimentation, and open-ended exploration.
In our latest interview of the series „Appointment with...“ , she shares more about her vision, artistic journey, and thoughts on AI in creative practice.

Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and coastal erosion threaten many coastal regions worldwide. An international study, led by TUM visiting researcher and doctoral candidate Sara Fouad in collaboration with , , and other global partners, investigates the hydroclimatic causes of building collapses along the southern Mediterranean coasts.

The study, published in the prestigious journal „Earth’s Future“, not only identifies key risk factors but also presents adaptive landscape strategies to protect vulnerable coastal communities. These strategies deeply rooted in landscape architecture and urban planning, emphasize nature-based approaches, resilient infrastructures, and sustainable coastal management.

As part of the CoDa (Concrete Damage Assessment) group, an interdisciplinary team of researchers — including experts from our .munich — has developed a new ultrasound method to assess the load-bearing capacity of concrete bridges. This non-destructive technique offers a more efficient and cost-effective way to evaluate and maintain critical infrastructure, ensuring long-term safety and stability.

The method has already been successfully tested on the Scheidplatz subway station in Munich, demonstrating its potential for real-world applications.

Supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG), this collaboration highlights the importance of teamwork and innovation in solving key engineering challenges.
