Special features regarding teaching
Lectures are conducted in a seminar style, and examples from practice play a large role within this. In the laboratory practicals, lecture material is applied. Individual supervision is provided both for individual and group exercises. Team projects allow students to take on responsibility for specific task areas and allow the practical application of specialised and project management methods. In addition to Computer Science-related contents, methods of scientific work, principles of Business Administration and English as well as presentation techniques are taught.
Special features regarding the international orientation
The degree course in Smart Automation is part of the Chinese-German University of Applied Sciences. Through the specialisation in Mechatronics, incoming and outgoing students can acquire a dual degree course with Tongji University in Shanghai. This takes place through a one-year stay abroad in the respective host country. In the first semester technical skills are acquired and in the second semester the Bachelor's work placement is completed or the Bachelor's thesis written.
