You can also enter into system integration and start-up, encompassing both hardware and software aspects, along with programming expertise. For those interested in process optimization, our program offers in-depth training in control engineering. Additionally, you can specialize in instrumentation, gaining skills in data acquisition, preparation, transmission, management, analysis and visualization. Explore testing technology, where you’ll engage in simulation, analysis, and synthesis techniques to enhance product quality. There are also opportunities in testing and quality management, which involve maintenance, service, and repair. If you’re inclined towards technical product management and sales, our program equips you with the necessary knowledge and skills. Lastly, you can venture into production, where you’ll be involved in planning, control, management, and logistics to drive efficiency and success in this dynamic field.
Our comprehensive curriculum covers a spectrum of subjects, including physics, statistics, data analysis, and human-machine interaction, among others. In addition, elective modules will allow you to delve deeper into specialized areas like IT, electronics, and automation technologies. Our program emphasizes core domains such as Electrical Engineering and Circuit Design, Electrical Measurement and Sensors, Electrical Machines, Computer Science, Software Development, PLC and Network Technology, Mobile and Database Solutions, Embedded and Cyber Physical Systems, Control Engineering, Robotics, Security and Safety. Prepare to shape the future by mastering cutting-edge technologies in Smart Automation.
During the 5th semester you have the opportunity to choose one of three elective modules: product, production or process. You will handle this topic for the rest of the semester. This individual selection promotes an individualised qualification with respect to the personal interests and occupational requirements of the students.
The work placement allows students to deepen and consolidate the content learned during their studies, to critically reflect the theory with the company’s reality, and to expand their skills to apply knowledge. The work placement is assigned to the 6th semester of the curriculum and is scheduled for at least 15 weeks. A work placement seminar supports and accompanies students during their work placement.
The collectivity of all experiences from the relevant professional activity and the specific discourse as well as the production of cross-connections between studies and the profession are characterised by an internship. The identification and evaluation of interrelationships as well as reports on experiences from the internship are an obligation for the students.
Ideal for school graduates with or without previous work experience who wish to have the opportunity to step into the professional world while studying.
