Electrical Engineering

 

The degree program

The bachelor’s program in Electrical Engineering is oriented towards basic principles and methods. In 6 semesters, it teaches all professional basics and methods that are required for solving problems in the fields of Electrical Engineering. Specialization takes place later in the master’s degree program. Another goal is to teach key qualifications such as communication, teamwork, presentation and moderation skills. Great importance is attached to ensuring that students acquire a well-founded specialist and system knowledge in the major areas of electrical engineering, which is taught in the basic modules. This permits an understanding and the analysis of interrelations in electrical engineering systems.

 

Important information

• A relevant pre-study internship with a minimum duration of 14 weeks should usually be documented before registering for the first examination in the 3rd semester of the degree program.
• Also offered as a dual study program with practical integration (degree program + practical work in the company).

 

Professional prospects

Electrical engineers work in nearly all branches of industry and services, in conventional electrical engineering and electronics as well as in mechanical and automotive engineering, in medical technology or in the IT and telecommunications industries. Electrical engineers are innovators, not only in the conventional fields of electrical engineering and information, but also in other key industries.

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - a strong combination!

Few other scientific disciplines are more representative of the infrastructure that forms the lifeline of modern industrial societies than electrical engineering and computer science. From power plants to microprocessors, from high-speed trains to small cars, from rolling mill controls to mobile phones, everywhere hardware and software, electrical engineering and information technology ensure that technology can be used smoothly, safely and conveniently.
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Siegen is one of the few institutions in Germany that combines research and teaching in electrical engineering and computer science in one unit.

Organization of the degree program

Subject examination regulations/degree plans/module handbooks/internship regulations

Subject examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a degree program (e.g. admission requirements and contents to be studied). The current version of an FPO automatically applies to students when enrolling in the first semester of study. This means that, even if the FPO changes during the course of your studies, the original version in effect at the time of enrollment still applies (provided that said FPO does not expire).
The respective degree plan contains the recommended exemplary course of studies in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Supplementary regulations and detailed information on each module to be studied can be found in the module handbooks (e.g. requirements for taking a written examination or information about the content of modules/courses, …).
The internship regulations define the conditions under which the compulsory or optional internships must be completed.

We recommend that, as a minimum, you take a look at the degree plan of your degree program before the start of the lecture period so that you know which modules are intended for the start of your studies.
