Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
The goal of this bachelor degree programme is to train our graduates to be able to work as qualified personnel in the fields of electrical engineering and information technology, so that they will be able to hold positions in development, manufacturing and sales and distribution.
Students acquire the fundamental knowledge that qualifies them for their professions and are able to practice the necessary methodical and engineering operations in modern and well- equipped laboratories. At their graduation they will have acquired specialised skills for the development of circuitry, systems and electrical and information technology products.
Beside the specialist competencies, students are trained in interdisciplinary skills such as intercultural communication and ‘Studium Generale’, enabling them in their future careers to be qualified to take responsibility for the leadership of complex specialist projects or the professional development of groups and individuals.
A particular feature of this degree programme is a broad foundational training with special emphasis on the two consolidational subjects ‘automation’ and ‘decentralised energy supply’ - including renewable energy - and information technology, with communication technology (next generation networks). This degree programme has received the quality seal for common standards in accreditation of engineering programmes.
The study programme ‘Electrical Engineering and Information Technology’ is so attractive that large national companies have shown interest in a co-operative educational programme. An example is the Siemens corporation, with whom we have a co-operation agreement for a degree and vocational training combined program (‘co-operative programme’). Graduates of this programme acquire both the qualification as electronics engineer as well as Bachelor EIT (electrical and information engineering), focusing on energy and automation technology. The degree can be obtained within 4 years.
This new degree programme, offered for the first time in Winter Semester 2007-08, replaced the ‘Diplom’ degree programmes ‘Electrical Energy and Automation Technology’, ‘Information and Communication Technology’, and the bachelor degree programme ‘Electical Engineering’.
