Special features regarding teaching
The teaching for the Automation Engineering degree course is characterised by a combination of theoretical principles and practical examples. There is also the significant advantage that many students have already been involved in research projects during the Bachelor's degree course. This takes the form of project work and work placements. Naturally, the students have even more involvement in research and development (R&D) projects in the Master's degree course.
Special features regarding the international orientation
Selected courses and/or project work in English; Involving international guest instructors; Study abroad semester and/or internship abroad and short-term programmes are actively promoted and are gladly used by the students; International interns are used in ongoing research projects; international students with regular enrolment are welcomed in all degree courses; teaching staff regularly take part in international conferences/further training
Special features regarding the equipment
Laboratories for electrical engineering, control engineering, regulation engineering, process control engineering, drive engineering, sensor technology, measuring and testing technology, microelectr./digital engineering, optical engineering, sound and vibration technology and plastics engineering, optics, image processing, product innovation, design prototyping, mechanical materials testing and analysis, heat treatment, remelting technology, plasma treatment, coatings, surface engineering, 3D scanning, additive manufacturing, metallography, tribology; fully automatic flexible manufacturing and assembly system (robots, CNC machines, transfer system), forming/simulation of processes; virt. commissioning.
Special features regarding research and development
The technical faculty in Wels is the largest and most research-intensive faculty at the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences: An average of around 180 ongoing projects, approx. EUR 10 million of external R&D funding acquired per year, and approx. 250 permanent research assistants.
