The department also runs a joint degree course at the USST in Shanghai.

Students have professional workspaces available in numerous laboratories, e.g. automation laboratory, energy and control engineering laboratory. In addition, there is a central laboratory workshop (ZLW) as well as the 3D space and makerspace for the implementation of students' own projects with soldering stations, metrology equipment and 3D printers. There are also modern laboratory workspaces in teaching, SmartGrid laboratory on the EnergieCampus, EMC measurement booth, acoustic laboratory and several PC clusters, virtual reality cave.

The focus of research in the department lies in the field of sensor technology for drive batteries, power electronics, data science in distributed energy systems, and many other areas. In the department, students are integrated into research teams at an early stage through thesis work. Further research projects are underway in cooperation with companies from the laboratory equipment and vehicle industries, the transport companies of the University of Hamburg and DESY (German Electron Synchrotron). The department's research contributes to the quality of the education of students and junior scientists.
