Engineering - Electrical Engineering (dual, practice-integrated)

In the three-and-a-half-year dual Bachelor's degree program, theory (at the university) and practice (during the time spent at the company) alternate. The program begins with an introductory phase in August, during which students become familiar with the company and its operations and processes. Lectures for the first semester begin in October. Practical phases place after the first, second, and third semesters. Following the fourth semester, the fifth semester offers the opportunity for individual specialization or a semester abroad. The sixth semester is followed by project-based learning. Apart from two-day theory modules at StudiumPlus, students work at their partner company, tackling larger projects. The seventh semester begins with the practical component of the thesis at the company. This is followed by theoretical block modules at the university. In the final month of the program, students prepare for the colloquium, which takes place at the end of the studies, while working at the company.

Digital teaching concept

The compulsory modules of the Computer Engineering specialization within the dual Bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering (B.Eng.) can be offered as hybrid courses, combining virtual and in-person instruction, starting in the fourth semester. The aim of this hybrid format is to combine the advantages of increased temporal and spatial flexibility and environmental sustainability with the intensive personal interaction of in-person classes. Furthermore, the Elective modules of the fifth semester are generally offered as virtual courses for all specializations.

A full university degree, intensive practical experience, and above-average career opportunities: This is the prospect StudiumPlus offers motivated and high-achieving young people. StudiumPlus is an innovative dual study program. It is backed by three strong partners: the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM), the largest university of applied sciences in Hesse; the Competence Center for Dual Studies StudiumPlus e. V. (CCD), which unites over 950 partner companies and institutions; and the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Central Hesse, led by the Lahn-Dill Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

The field of General Electrical Engineering encompasses a very broad range of applications, from the efficient generation, distribution, and use of electrical energy to the storage, processing, and use of information in communications and automation technology. This involves the use of state-of-the-art tools such as computer technology, digital networks, micromechanical sensors, and actuators. These can include, for example, complex system components such as motors with position or speed sensors. The range of systems used in electrical engineering extends from purely software-based solutions (control software for vehicles and household appliances) to digital circuits (microcomputers, power electronics) and complex installations (power plants, ICE high-speed rail technology, radio equipment). Successful completion of the program qualifies graduates for skilled specialist and management positions in various industries, as they are able to define necessary requirements, select available components and systems, configure them in terms of hardware and software, and analyze and troubleshoot malfunctions.

The detailed study program can be found in the module handbook.

The field of Computer Engineering deals with computers that are integrated into other technical systems. Graduates of Computer Engineering programs are in high demand because technical systems are an integral part of our lives: from game consoles and cell phones to household appliances, automobiles, and manufacturing plants. We expect all these technical systems to be functional and easy to use. Graduates are skilled in interdisciplinary work at the interface between hardware and software. They are able to program microcomputers in embedded systems used in consumer electronics, motor controls, machine tools, industrial plants, and measurement technology. Furthermore, they can manage, control, and direct small and large projects consisting of both software and hardware components. They are also employed in the planning, setup, and operation of networks connecting processors, computers, and applications.

The detailed study program can be found in the module handbook.

The degree program offers diverse career opportunities. Graduates can take on specialist and management roles as well as positions in research and development in, for example, the following sectors:

• Electrical and electronics industry
• telecommunications
• Energy industry
• Traffic engineering
• Microsystems and nanotechnology
