The department of Engineering has laboratories with modern equipment. The technical equipment meets state-of-the-art industry standards. Details of the individual laboratories can be found online. The Laboratories for Plant Engineering, CAD, Mechatronics, Production Engineering, Process Engineering, Rapid Prototyping and the Design Laboratory offer students the opportunity to receive practical training with individual supervision under realistic conditions. Research projects and interdisciplinary student projects supply additional incentives.

The profile of the technology department includes various research institutes. Students have the opportunity to participate in research activities. Current key areas of research include: Energy efficiency in production, knowledge transfer, logistics, energy and environmental engineering, industrial informatics, university didactics, e-learning, and Green Tech Ostfriesland.

General information and funding opportunities and special offers provided by the knowledge and research transfer centre and the in-house centre for continuing education. Opportunity to participate in the seminar on business start-ups with external lecturers. Links exist on this topic with the city of Emden (Zukunft Emden/start-up centre), the Ems-Achse and associations (VDE/VDI). Opportunities to visit subject-specific trade fairs or companies as excursions. Offers of the Career Service Center and the Equal Opportunity Office of the HS EL. New: MeerCommunity StartUp Center.

The Emden campus has short distances and an excellent student-teacher ratio. In addition to competition-winning student projects such as the battery-powered screwdriver race, solar boat or HyperPod, excursions to relevant companies or trade shows in areas of specialisation have enhanced the popularity of the degree course. FabLab with Repair Café, mechan. workshop with free access. Student parties on campus, a university cinema and sport programme as well as the 'Getting acquainted' weekend on Borkum for first-semester students are just as appealing as the cultural activities offered by the city of Emden.
