The faculty gives high priority to a close link between theory and practice. It offers a high proportion of practicals in small groups in modern laboratories, which are optimally adapted to the content of the lectures. A team of young professors with industry experience values direct contact with students, thus providing excellent support. In addition to the teaching of professional skills at a high level, there is also much focus on developing communication and presentation skills. Many e-learning elements complement classroom teaching.

State-of-the-art laboratories offer a very high degree of practical relevance, e.g. a hybrid laboratory (fully equipped for all production steps in modern electronics production), automation engineering (cutting-edge in production automation: smart home, security and safety), electric drives and power electronics (test benches with new motors and inverters, research projects for electromobility), robotics laboratory (especially human-robot collaboration), power engineering ...

The faculty is highly committed in the key research areas of electronics and system integration, production and logistics systems for Industry 4.0, medical technology and energy. Current research areas include printed electronics on textiles, electromobility, innovative electric engines and miniaturised sensors. Internal research projects can also be carried in cooperation with industry at the level of project work and final dissertations. Several academic staff do research in the faculty’s very well-equipped laboratory as part of ‘cooperative doctorates’.
