in today’s world, almost nothing runs
without electrical engineering and
electronics. Almost half of industrial
production in Germany is directly or indirectly
dependent upon the utilitsation of
modern electrical engineering and electronic
systems. Products and innovations
in both areas increasingly decide the
speed and quality of technical progress.
The precept is not technical feasibility,
but sustainable usability for human
beings in their environment. Areas such
as modern medical care, environmentally
friendly traffic concepts, alternative
energy production and energy conservation
are dependent upon electrical engineering
and electronics.
The job outlook for electrical engineers
is also exceptionally good, and not only
within the electrical engineering industry.
Graduates are offered opportunities in
other fields as well, such as purchasing,
materials management and logistics, or
as a “manager of technology” in the software/IT
field. Banks, insurance companies
and consulting firms are also increasingly
employing electrical engineers for
such needs as business process orientation
and in the combining of established
specialised knowledge with non-technical
competencies such as methodological and
language skills.
The goal of the Electrical Engineering
Degree Programme is not only to provide
students with the technical prerequisites
for professional life, but also with
the necessary soft skills. In addition to
basic mathematical, physical and electrotechnical
theories and methodologies,
starting in the third semester the full
spectrum of electrical engineering is
taught, and starting in the fourth semester
the focus is on two concentrations:
Automation and Drive Technology and
Telecommunications Engineering. In
particular, all key subject areas provide
systematic methods for solving electrotechnical
problems, which provide the
basis for lifelong learning. Furthermore,
the growing demand for social skills such
as communication, teamwork, foreign
languages, and presentation techniques
are playing an increasingly important
role. The goal is to develop the various
competencies in a concrete manner
through hands-on training in groups and
practical projects.
electrical engineering with practical
training semester
A practical training semester is also
possible. In this case, the standard period
of study consists of seven rather than
six semesters, with the practical training
taking place in the sixth semester.
