Accompanying practicals/exercises for intensive engagement with the teaching content. Different types of projects prepare students for various aspects of professional activity. Practice-relevant teaching components. Possible collaboration in practice-oriented research projects. In small project groups, engineering tasks and project management skills are practised in a goal-oriented way. During the project work, a development process is tested for the practical phase of the occupational practice. Supplementary exercises are offered as support for individual students in the case of large differences in academic performance.

The FB Technik and the HS E/L maintain numerous contacts with international universities (73 coop.), institutes and internationally active industrial partners. New contacts are added regularly. International advisers of the teaching units and the International Office help students integrate a period abroad into their degree course. The consecutive master's degree in Industrial Informatics at the FB Technik has an international English-language branch. Prerequisite: Language level B2. International students are expressly welcome. In addition: 2 intern. Master’s degree programmes in continuing education in Technical Management + BIDA

The laboratory equipment of the individual disciplines is continuously modernised to a high level + various special laboratories: e.g. automation systems, mixed reality, AV technology, studio/broadcast vehicles/good infrastructure). Against the backdrop of specific requirements, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science operates its own independent computer centre (with specialised supervision provided by departmental IT specialists:including the department’s own computer pools). An access control system means that PC pools and other rooms can be used outside regular opening hours.

The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department comprises various research institutes. It is possible to participate in further research activities of the FB Technik. Current key areas of research include: Energy efficiency in production, knowledge transfer, logistics, energy and environmental engineering, industrial informatics, university didactics, e-learning. Current topics include the intelligent validation of driver assistance systems through information enhancement, sensor technology and applications, cyber physical systems and IT security.

General information and funding opportunities and special offers provided by the knowledge and research transfer centre + 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). Specialisation in Marketing and Distribution provides aspects of this (including excursions to the USA). Excursions to specialist trade fairs or companies. New at the E/L University of Applied Sciences: MeerCommunity Start-up Center.

The HS E/L is an attractive campus university with short distances and a modern infrastructure. Library was modernised in 2018. There are course-specific activities that create a real sense of group membership among students. Good student-teacher ratio Interdisciplinary student projects (e.g. solar boat, Hyperloop, headwind vehicle) offer opportunities for practical knowledge transfer, teamwork, participation in fun competitions. Also in FB T: FabLab + Repair Café. University sports programme + sponsored activities enhance the attractiveness of students' life & satisfaction.
