Special features regarding the international orientation
Many contracts with partner universities for exchange semesters; Recognition of credits earned abroad. Cooperation agreements on "joint programmes" with 6 universities on 4 continents, recognition course administration at the DHIK, obligatory exchange internships for all students with the nearby TU Liberec (Czech Republic) in the current semester
Common partner universities for exchange
TU Liberec (Tschechien); Uni Wroclaw (Polen); Politechnika Wroclawska (Polen); Fachhochschule Oberösterreich (Österreich); Uni Lahore (Pakistan); Uni Hanoi (Vietnam); Uni Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt (Vietnam); Tonji Uni Shanghai (China); North West Uni Südafrika; Uni Tec Monterrey (Mexiko)
Special features regarding the equipment
Very modern techn. equipment (e.g. own high-voltage hall, mechatronics laboratory, Zittau power plant laboratory, teaching and training station Zittau - Süd); In 2016-18 all laboratories, classrooms and offices were refitted using initial setup grants and DFG funding for large-scale equipment (setup of an EMC laboratory with two cabins and a partial discharge measuring cabin in the high-voltage laboratory, which is still under construction). Location-independent provision of specialist software and databases via the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Special features regarding research and development
The department carries out 90% of industrial research and approx. 50% of the total research at the HSZG, close cooperation and joint project groups with Fraunhofer institutes: Fraunhofer Institute f. Machine tools and forming technology IWU, Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics, System Technology and Image Exploitation IOSB, Fo. in the department and in institutes of the HSZG, Institute for Process Technology, Process Automation and Measurement Technology (IPM) with approx. 50 full-time equivalent positions is the largest structural unit of the HSZG; In addition to transregional research projects, many are also carried out with local stakeholders

Support for founders
The faculty participates in the activities of the start-up academy of Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (https://www.hszg.de/studium/karriereservice/gruenderakademie-2.html). Company start-ups are supported as part of the course Project Management for Engineers.
Other special features
Laboratory and staff rooms on a coherent campus with short distances; Small and individual department; Excellent relationships between students and teaching staff. The resulting close personal contact contributes to the above-average academic success rate (approx. 75%), approx. 90% degrees are complete within the standard period of study
