Quality seal for the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering reaffirmed Recognition for high quality in research, teaching and organisation

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Technische Universität Braunschweig has once again been awarded the quality seal by the Faculty Association for Mechanical and Process Engineering (FTMV). The award confirms the faculty’s high standards in teaching, research and organisation for the certification period from 2027 to 2029.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stephan Scholl from the Institute of Chemical and Thermal Process Engineering represents the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at TU Braunschweig as a delegate on the FTMV. Regular participation in the evaluation process is a key component of continuous quality assurance, explains Scholl:

“By taking part in the evaluation process, we are making a lasting contribution to quality assurance in teaching, research and organisation. The certification and regular documentation help us to meet the quality requirements of the quality mark in the long term. At the same time, the process provides a continuous incentive to further develop existing processes and implement additional improvements.”

As part of the assessment, the FTMV evaluates various quality criteria in the areas of research, teaching and organisation. These include, amongst others, the proportion of third-party funding secured, the drop-out rate, compliance with curricular standards, internationalisation and the student-to-staff ratio.

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Technische Universität Braunschweig has held the FTMV quality seal since its introduction in 2008, successfully renewing the award regularly ever since.

The Association of Faculties of Mechanical Engineering and Process Engineering (FTMV) is an association of faculties, departments or divisions of Mechanical Engineering and/or Process Engineering at universities, universities of technology and technical colleges in Germany. The purpose of the association is to represent the common interests of its member faculties in matters relating to teaching, research and academic self-governance, as well as in university politics affecting the member faculties.
