CLIMATE-NEUTRAL MOBILE

Mobility affects all of us. Whether in everyday life or on vacation, we want to be able to reach any place in our surroundings flexibly and, above all, safely. However, as traffic in cities is constantly increasing, we need more electrically powered vehicles that are climate-friendly and also produce significantly less noise than conventional cars. Intelligent sensor systems in vehicles are also becoming increasingly important, as they help us to identify risks at an early stage and avoid accidents.

What you can expect

Mobility affects all of us. Whether in everyday life or on vacation, we want to reach any place in our surroundings quickly, flexibly and, above all, safely. However, as traffic in cities is constantly increasing, we need far more electrically powered vehicles that move without exhaust fumes and also produce significantly less noise than conventional cars. Intelligent sensor systems in vehicles are also becoming increasingly important, as they help us to identify risks at an early stage and avoid accidents.

On the practical Vehicle Electronics and Electromobility course, you will learn how to develop electronic systems for vehicles. For example, you will deal with innovative topics such as lighting technology, electric drive technology, lithium batteries and fuel cells, power electronics, intelligent sensors and communication systems.

Your study content

The vehicles of the future need new solutions! From the first semester onwards, you will work on these challenges in a team and in a very practical way. In the first project, you will have fun learning the basics of actuator and sensor technology while competing with your self-built autonomous Carrera cars.

What will you learn?

You will work in the laboratory right from the start and familiarize yourself with many situations from your future professional life. You will use your newly acquired knowledge of microelectronics, information and communication technology, modern sensor technology, drive technology and energy storage. You will become experts in drive and high-voltage technology or fuel cell and battery technology.

What our students say

 

Daniel Matusiak Porträt

I am studying automotive electronics and electromobility because I have always been interested in vehicles and wanted to know how technical things work. I also want to change our future sustainably with new ideas. I like studying at the HRW because I appreciate the personal interaction with the teaching staff. The open-door mentality and the trust in us students is also reflected in the fact that we have access to the well-equipped laboratories at all times. At the same time, I make use of the Upgrade learning center to prepare for exams with the help of tutors. The close contact with my fellow students, the independent work in project-based development teams and the practice-oriented teaching correspond to my idea of the ideal degree course and have repeatedly confirmed my choice of study. I am well prepared for the practical world.
