Wide range of courses (Automotive Engineering, Plastics Engineering, Process Engineering, Product Development, Design and Motive Power Engineering, Material Engineering and Assembling Techniques, Closed-Loop Control and many more); e-learning is available in some cases (e.g. through (sound) recording of lectures); direct link to professional practice thanks to practical courses, excursions and use of external practitioners.

Contacts with approx. 20 partner universities all over the world; cooperative study programmes with universities in Egypt and China.

Extensive high-grade technical equipment is available in many research areas (Automotive Engineering, Plastics Engineering, Process Engineering, Product Development, Design and Motive Power Engineering, Material Engineering and Assembling Techniques, Closed-Loop Control and many more). This is not only used for research purposes, but also by students for practical training. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering also has its own central workshop where it can manufacture many parts itself.
