Sensor Technology

Profile

Study Sensor Technology

We operate our cell phones. Use parking aids. Use game consoles. Our lamps turn on automatically when it gets dark. Washing machines adjust the amount of water and detergent dosage depending on the load. Life without sensors is no longer thinkable. Neither in our everyday lives, nor in industrial production, medical technology and environmental protection.

Sensors are our extended, technical organs of perception. Sensor Technology is the basis for interaction between machines and their environment. Sensor Technology shapes our lives and numerous job profiles of the future. Become part of this by studying Electrical Engineering & Information Technology with specialization in Sensor Technology!

A graduate reports

Christian Ruf: The diversity of the field of study played a fundamental role in my decision to pursue a degree. I was looking for something that would give students a basic knowledge across disciplines. This makes it possible to apply for many different jobs after graduation, and it makes it possible to be employed in positions where the goal is to combine different disciplines. I chose Sensor Technology because it was exactly what I was looking for. And during my internship semester at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, I focused on microfluidics. That turned out to be a door opener for the bachelor thesis and the first job.
