A degree programme for the major technical challenges of our time
The combination of power electronics and microelectronics is the key to renewable energy-based power supply and electromobility. The course content incorporates the latest industry requirements for the development of power electronics and microelectronic systems.
Structure and content
Whether purely electrically powered or in a hybrid variant: every electric drive motor in a car requires power electronics for control. Forward-looking innovations in medical technology and building services engineering are also only possible thanks to power and microelectronics.
The current requirements of industry in the development of power and microelectronic systems have been incorporated into the definition of the course content. In addition to power electronics, the design of analogue integrated circuits is an important focus of the programme, as the interaction of digital signal processing systems with the outside world requires the handling of analogue signal forms in many ways. For example, sensor signals are usually recorded as analogue values. Analogue variables must also be provided for the power supply and control of actuators. In connection with this knowledge, modern methods of electronic design are taught in theory and practice. Electrical drive technology is another central component of the curriculum.
Among other things, the programme offers lectures and laboratory practicals on:
Analogue circuits
Semiconductor components
Power electronics
Digital circuits
Design methods
The E&D Teaching and Research Centre – Electronics & Drives
Electronics and drive technology move the world: At E&D, teaching and research focus on issues relating to new power electronic assemblies and concepts, the use of new semiconductor components, innovative circuit concepts in microelectronics, new methods for the automated design of circuits, and improvements in electric drive technology.
And after graduation?
Graduates are optimally prepared for new technical challenges in the future fields of electromobility and autonomous driving. With the skills they have acquired, they will find a wide range of areas of application and will be able to take on demanding engineering tasks in industry.
Your qualification profile
Graduates of this programme have comprehensive knowledge of power electronics, analogue integrated circuit design and electric drive technology.
Possible fields of work
Whether in the fields of electromobility, drive technology, wind power/photovoltaics, microelectronics in medicine or electronic communication systems – your knowledge and skills are in demand everywhere. In particular, the transition to renewable energy sources and electromobility offer many career opportunities.
Doctorate
For graduates interested in research, an excellent Master's degree provides the ideal foundation for a doctorate. After completing their studies, they can enrol in a doctoral programme to obtain a Dr.-Ing. degree. Exciting research projects are underway at E&D for this purpose.
