The Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering – „Thinking in Systems“
Tradition and Innovation, successful education and research, distinguished scientists and highly motivated young researchers define the profile of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EuI) at the Technische Universität Dresden.
With 29 full professors and 1 juniorprofessor, 400 scientific staff, 2,200 students, annual third party funding of 29 Mio. Euro and numerous national and international research projects, the faculty shows to be one of the main contributors to the university's scientific performance and reputation.
The broad scope of research and teaching is reflected in the faculty’s maxim of "Thinking in systems", with a main focus being placed on
- Automation, Measurement & Control
- Communications Engineering
- Electrical Power Engineering
- Electromechanical and Biomedical Systems
- Information Electronics
- Micro-Opto-Nano Electronics
Degree Programmes
The faculty currently offers four Diplom degree programmes with a standard study duration of 10 semesters:
- electrical engineering
- information systems engineering (with the Faculty of Computer Science)
- mechatronics (with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Transportation and Traffic Sciences) and
- renewable energy systems (with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering)
Such interdisciplinarity is daily practice in all programmes and an inherent element of the research-oriented training concept. Alongside the Diplom programmes, students can also enrol for Master's programmes in
- electrical engineering and
- nanoelectronic systems (taught in English)
Cooperation with industry and research
The contacts to industry and to extra-university research organisations, e.g. the Fraunhofer Institutes, are equally strong; this cooperation seeds outstanding perspectives for both sides. Numerous industry-funded research projects and business
spin-offs from faculty institutes, as well as two industry-funded endowed chairs (Communication Networks and Mobile Communications Systems), are testimony to this fruitful and practice-oriented cooperation in the field of high-tech research. The students also profit from this arrangement through early experience in an application-oriented environment and can establish contacts invaluable for their later careers.
The outstanding research competence of the faculty is at the same time demonstrated in the DFG Collaborative Research Centre "HAEC – Highly Adaptive Energy-Efficient
Computing", for which a second phase of funding runs until June 2019. The research centre is a central pillar of the cluster of excellence "Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden" (cfaed), which is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Fettweis (head of the Vodafone Chair Mobile Communications Systems at our faculty). The members of this excellence cluster are presently exploring new materials, technologies and systems for the electronics of the future, in the hope of overcoming the foreseeable limitations of today’s solutions.
