In cooperation with various Steinbeis Transfer Centres on campus and in line with lecture contents and student research projects in the individual specialisations of the Mechanical Engineering degree, projects are carried out in the fields of digitisation of production, plastics processing, development methodology, engine and vehicle technology, and digital supply and energy management.

The students at the DHBW enter into training contracts with dual partners. The dual partners of the DHBW invest a lot of time and money in the training of junior staff throughout the degree through training allowances and offering practical training. It would make no sense and would be counterproductive for both the university and the dual partners if the DHBW, as a dual partner of the training companies, were to support students in setting up a business.
