The Bachelor's degree programmes in the Department of Electrical Engineering are characterised by modern, well-equipped laboratories, which offer an optimal learning environment, especially for basic studies. Highly specialised laboratories, including microelectronics, drive and propulsion engineering, networks and high-voltage engineering, enable in-depth expertise and practice-oriented research. Teaching is practice-oriented and closely linked to current scientific and industrial developments. The #StartIng project offers a student-oriented support programme that facilitates the start of studies and provides targeted support.

The broad-based Master's degree programme is defined by its scientific depth and specialisation. Students can opt to focus on the four areas of specialisation drive system engineering, electronics and sensor technology, energy system technology and the power industry. Practice-oriented research and development work is of particular importance throughout the degree course. The highly project-oriented nature of the degree course makes it particularly relevant and highlights the need for a professional exchange at national and international level.

The department and the university attach great importance to the integration of international students and cooperation with partner universities. In order to exploit synergy effects, the placement of these activities at university level and thus across departments has proven successful. The degree courses offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering are in high demand by international students. Intensive student support is provided by the International Office of Dortmund University of Applied Sciences.

The department has state-of-the-art technical equipment that supports a wide range of research and teaching. Even the equipment of the basic laboratory is of the highest standard. The laboratories range from high-voltage engineering, drive system technology and control technology to the field of microelectronics and chip development. Our modern equipment, from large-scale devices (high-voltage engineering) to the production of microchips, includes all essential components and equipment from professional practice in electrical engineering.

The department is characterised by a high level of research activity in forward-looking projects. This includes "kV-Batt", which develops a battery system with very high system voltage. Another highlight is "FHDo-ATLAS-FIS", which explores the development of integrated voltage regulators for hybrid detectors of the ATLAS and CMS experiment. The "DIANEpro" project optimises sustainability in industrial production through data-based analysis of energy flows. In addition, numerous projects are underway in the field of (micro)electronics, which make the department particularly innovative.

The women's project laboratory is a special facility of the department developed specifically to promote women in STEM subjects. This unique platform offers (prospective) female students the opportunity to work on projects in a supportive environment, gain practical experience and deepen their technical skills. In addition, the laboratory promotes exchange and networking among female students in order to strengthen equal opportunities in technical professions in the long term. This initiative underlines the department's commitment to diversity.
