In the Department of Engineering and Communication (IWK) [formerly Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Technical Journalism (EMT)], we link engineering and communication sciences. In interdisciplinary degree programmes with a strong focus on hands-on experience, we aim to establish a close relationship with our students. Sustainability, energy efficiency and renewable energies are central fields of teaching and research.
