Electrical Engineering and Information Technology — International Master of Science

After a two-semester programme at the university, the students will attend a six-month internship in industry, which is followed by another six-month Master's thesis that will be conducted in industry. This set-up ensures a smooth transition into a professional career either in a German company or worldwide. The programme has been designed to offer various chances to apply what has been learned in the lectures during laboratories. Please check our website https://mse.h-da.de for additional details on the course content and structure. Common Modules All students will attend courses in Technical Management and will perform a semester project. The rest of the curriculum depends on the chosen major. Automation Major Automation plays an important role not only in industry but also in our everyday lives, from medical technology to building management. Our electrical engineering faculty is particularly competent in automation. Close cooperation with industry in the Rhein-Main area characterise these focal points. The main foci deal with current issues in control engineering, robotics, factory automation and the Industrial Internet of Things. Identification of dynamic systems, adaptive controls, process visualisation and bus and control technology as well as sensor and actuator technology are analysed and deepened in theory and practice. Communications Major The communications major programme offers in-depth background encompassing state-of-the-art communication techniques. The programme builds the students' ability to participate in research and implements projects dealing with modulation and coding schemes. It also expands the students' knowledge on microwave components and systems as well as theory and applications of discrete time signals. Embedded Electronics and Microelectronics Major Embedded systems have tremendously influenced our everyday life over the last decade – ranging from wearables and smartphones to medical devices, the Internet of Things and autonomous transportation. Computation power and the available memory of microcontrollers have tremendously grown over the last years, allowing the implementation of complex algorithms like machine learning or computer vision in embedded devices as well. As embedded systems interact with the environment, the design and realisation of hardware solutions also play an important role in this major, which focuses on state-of-the-art microcontrollers and FPGAs, embedded programming, real-time systems and hardware-driven system design. Power Engineering Major We do not know what the car of the future will look like, but it will definitely be electric. Energy technology is setting the course for our future. This area ensures that electrical energy is provided safely, sufficiently, cost-effectively and in an environmentally compatible manner. The courses focus on power generation, renewable energy, power distribution and smart grids as well as on e-mobility, electric drives and control of drive systems.
