Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)

About the Program

How can television, Internet and telephone be combined in one device? How is photovoltaic electricity optimally fed into the public grid? Why does an industrial robot always grip the right part? What technology ensures that aeroplanes weighing several tonnes touch down precisely on the runway? Questions like these are the focus of students in the Bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. In the first three semesters, basic knowledge in mathematics and physics is acquired, as well as the basics of electrical engineering and information technology. Afterwards, students can choose between three specializations: Energy, electronics and environment; Automation and information technology; Communication Technology. The know-how necessary for the practice is conveyed through lectures, laboratory activities, exercises and project work. Team competencies as well as language and presentation skills equip the future engineers for international projects. Electrical engineers work in research and development, design and manufacturing, product marketing and sales as well as project management in the construction of complex plants. Sectors include electrical industry, automotive and vehicle construction, IT industry, medical technology, chemical industry, mobile communications, railway systems, aviation industry, renewable energies. The program can also be pursued as a dual study programme.
