Special features regarding teaching
Building knowledge, ability to apply soft skills practically (team and communication skills) for professional activities in Business Informatics; Very strong links between lectures, exercises and practicals to ensure learning success and application orientation; Very good access to teaching staff; Small practicals groups with an excellent tutor-student ratio; Distinct practice orientation through teachers who have a lot of practical experience and contacts with industry; Opportunity to spend semesters abroad via cooperations with various partner universities
Special features regarding the international orientation
Its location in the border triangle DE-NL-BE makes the institution perfect for cross-border cooperation, such as with Katholieke Hogeschool Zuid-West-Vlaanderen, Haute École de la Province de Liège and Hogeschool Zuyd. Many students come from the Netherlands-Belgium border area or live there. Participation in the Erasmus programme. The department’s partner universities include: Missouri University of Science and Technology; Weber State University; Tennessee Technological University/USA; Anyang University, South Korea; Universiti Sains Malaysia; RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia; Université Montpellier 2
Special features regarding the equipment
Industrial robot systems (e.g. delta kinematics, articulated arm), CAD workstations, machine test benches for servo machines, maker space for rapid prototyping, buggies and sensor systems (environment detection autonomous driving), measurement technology up to 67 GHz (network and spectrum analysers), HF measurement technology, plasma technology, location systems, transmission and reception systems (mobile radio communication, RFID), assembly technology (soldering technology, layout software, simulation software), dig. broadband transmission technology, fast hardware (ADC/DAC, FPGA, processor boards), vector signal measuring stations, high-speed hardware, 3D printers
Special features regarding research and development
Numerous research cooperations within the FH and with other universities, including RWTH and universities in the DE-BE-NL Meuse–Rhine Euroregion: With the RWTH Institute of Control Engineering: Development of control algorithms and test vehicles (IRT buggies); Institute for Microwave and Plasma Technology: Reduction of radioactive waste, exhaust gas or exhaust air purification, CO2 reductions in industrial heating processes, among other things; Interdisciplinary European Center for Sustainable Mobility (ECSM); CONSENT Auto-Configured Security for Home and Industrial Networks; ARTUS autonomous robust transport system for environmentally friendly extraction of natural resources
