Profile

Due to the extensive use of electrical energy in a modern industrial society, graduates of the Energy and Drives course have a wide range of opportunities throughout the economy:

• in electrical power generation and distribution companies
• in the plant, equipment, mechanical engineering and vehicle industries
• in traffic and transportation companies
• in the field of electric railroads for local and long-distance transportation
• in medium-sized industrial and craft businesses
• in a large number of service companies.

They are therefore well equipped for a successful career in the planning, development, production, commissioning and maintenance of electrical power and communication systems as well as in transportation facilities. The ongoing adaptation of the curricula to current developments in the respective specialist area ensures that you have good opportunities on the job market.

The boundaries between the various fields of work are usually fluid and the increasing spread of applications has led to further specializations. The demands placed on electrical engineers are also subject to considerable change. Their future tasks are increasingly shifting from pure product development and design to project planning, implementation and integration of complex hardware and software systems. As a result, engineers are increasingly required to have non-technical skills - from methodological and linguistic skills to technical knowledge.
