Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

The laboratories on Automation Technology topics offer a huge selection of exhibits to illustrate the theory learned. Students develop both hardware and software here and create their own projects. For example, they examine different types of PLCs, the programmable logic controllers.

The Digital Technology lab provides a hands-on learning environment for digital circuit concepts. We actively encourage independent experimentation and troubleshooting. This allows students to deepen their understanding and skills and gain confidence in designing and analyzing complex digital systems.

Practical courses on the subject of high voltage and Power Engineering take place in the faculty's high-voltage laboratory . The impressive facility demonstrates, for example, the enormous energies that a power line can withstand. Prof. Dr. Sebastian Coenen gives an insight into the work in the video.

In industries such as optics and laser technology, aerospace technology, life sciences and medical research, keeping products and processes clean is of crucial importance. Limit values for dust, particles, microorganisms or germs in the air must not be exceeded.
Complex micro- and nanostructured components such as sensors can be researched, developed and manufactured in the cleanroom.

Four identical "Ready2_educate" training cells from KUKA are installed in the robotics laboratory. Students have the opportunity to learn and try out the programming and control of the latest industrial robot systems on four robot arms. The laboratory was set up jointly by the Faculties of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, Computer Science and Business Informatics as well as Economics.
