Specialist fields
The University Degree Programme’s teaching sessions are divided into individual specialist fields, for each of which a coordinator has been appointed to relieve and support the Degree Programme management staff in the realization and organization of lectures and exams.
The specialist field coordinators, appointed by the Head of the Degree Programme, are each responsible for the relevant networking of the teaching sessions in their own respective specialist area, i.e. the coordination of teaching goals and course content for constructive teaching sessions. They are also involved in the preparation of the Degree Programme timetable.
General Subjects
|
Specialist field coordinator: Sandra Bernsteiner
The specialist area of general subjects offers basic training in the areas of mathematics (general fundamentals of analysis and linear algebra) and the fundamentals of natural sciences (physics, chemistry and geometry). Furthermore, English, language skills and communication are also taught under the umbrella of this specialist area.

Electronic Engineering / I.T.
|
Specialist field coordinator: Dipl.-Ing. Dieter Lutzmayr
The specialist area of electronic engineering / I.T. mainly offers basic training in the fields of electronic engineering (general electrical engineering, direct current technology, alternating current technology and electronic basic circuits), as well as in technical I.T. disciplines (programming language C for microcontroller programming, network technology, automatic control engineering and measurement engineering).
From the 5th semester onwards, modules cover in-depth technical subjects on topics ranging from automatic control engineering and digital technology to SPC programming. In the Master Degree Programme, students can then choose between the areas of industrial electrical engineering, automatic control engineering and data transfer technology so as to go into the chosen subject in greater detail.

Mechanical Engineering
|
Specialist field coordinator: DI Dr. Franz Haas
The mechanical engineering training given during the first three semesters of the Bachelor Degree Programme comprises fundamental subjects and topics that are of particular relevance to automation technology. Key themes covered include mechanics, materials technology and design. These skills are carried over and used within the framework of a CAD project on a practical theme.
Later on during the Degree Programme, the mechanical engineering-specific training concentrates on production, mechanical handling and process engineering. In the subject-specific focus from the 5th semester onwards, three in-depth topics are an offer to students interested in mechanical engineering, namely digital simulation technology, robotics and energy technology, thus presenting the automation technologists with a broad choice of possible specialist topics.
In the Master Degree Programme, selected themes are dealt with during the environmental engineering, logistics and machine maintenance teaching sessions prior to the students embarking upon a thesis.

Subsidiary Subjects
|
Specialist field coordinator: DI Dr. Börge Kummert
During the course of the Degree Programme, this area of study aims at providing students with an overview of business studies, including how a company works, the logic of bookkeeping and the reading, understanding and interpretation of a balance sheet. Bachelor students are taught the appropriate skills that will enable them to calculate technology-oriented product/performance and to be successful project managers.
During the Master Degree Programme, this area of study focuses on the training of industrial engineers capable of thinking and dealing in a strategic, future success-oriented and foresighted manner. The main aspects of this training lie in management behaviour, team management and company management and, as such, the in-depth specialist topics of business planning and quality management are also on offer.
