Special features regarding the equipment

Numerous modernised laboratories, many of which are also available for courses in the form of internships.

Special features regarding research activities

The department or degree course is involved in a variety of research projects, many in an international context. To name a few examples: E-Genius, Flying Laptop, SOFIA, Fly-by-Wire DA42, ‘DROPIT’ International Research Training Group, Collaborative Research Centre transregio 75 (SFB-TRR75)

Support for founders

Mainly done place centrally with the support of the University of Stuttgart, but also through the degree programme, e.g. by assuming the mentoring role of university teachers and/or applying for research and development projects for entrepreneurs from the university.
