Program Overview

The Engineering and Management in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (EIW) at HTWG Konstanz is a 7-semester Bachelor of Engineering program that blends core electrical engineering, information tech, AI, sustainable energy, and management skills to prepare you for leading roles in innovative industries. It's perfect for students who love tech but also want business savvy to manage projects, drive sustainability, and thrive in global teams—all in a full-time, English-taught format starting in summer semester with small classes for hands-on learning.

Curriculum structure
Semesters 1-2 (Grundstudium): You'll kick off with a solid foundation in electrical engineering basics like circuits and electronics, alongside economics and math to understand how tech meets business—think modules on Mathematics, Physics, and introductory Electrical Engineering paired with Business Administration fundamentals. This builds your versatile skill set early, letting you see the big picture of systems like sustainable energy from day one, all while getting comfortable with programming and problem-solving in real-world scenarios.

Semesters 3-4 (Hauptstudium): Here, you dive deeper into specialized topics, sharpening your engineering edge with modules like Digital Control Systems, where you'll model and stabilize dynamic systems for automation, and Process Automation, focusing on simulating processes and developing control software. You'll also tackle System Architecture, learning to design distributed hardware-software systems, blending tech precision with management strategies for efficient project delivery.

Semesters 5-7 (Practical and Advanced Phases): Semester 5 is your practical internship in a company, applying everything from AI and sustainable energy to real jobs while networking for your career. The final semesters ramp up with profile areas like Sustainable Global Value Networks (including Circular Economy & Green Logistics) and Digitalization Systems (building on Digital Control Systems), culminating in your thesis and electives tailored to energy systems, IT, or global business.

Focus areas: Electrical and Electronic Systems, Information Technologies and AI, Sustainable Energy Systems and Management, Sustainable Global Value Networks.

Learning outcomes: Gain interdisciplinary skills to develop solutions in automation, e-mobility, smart grids, and Industry 4.0; become a project manager, developer, or startup founder ready for international teams.

Professional alignment (accreditation): Fully accredited Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) program, qualifying you as a development engineer, applications engineer, IT specialist, system developer, technical project manager, or embedded engineer.

Reputation (employability rankings): HTWG Konstanz grads excel in high-demand fields like renewable energies and digital tech, with strong industry ties via internships and a network of international partners—positioned as top for practical, future-proof engineering in Germany's applied sciences scene.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

At Hochschule Konstanz, the Engineering and Management in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (EIW) program dives deep into hands-on learning right from the start, blending electrical systems, AI, sustainable energy, and management skills through real-world projects in small groups of about 40 students. You'll build practical expertise in areas like electronic systems, information tech, and global value networks using the university's top-notch facilities, including well-equipped computer pools loaded with specialized software, cutting-edge labs, and dedicated IT infrastructure managed by the Data Center. This setup lets you tackle challenges in e-mobility, smart grids, and Industry 4.0 with tools and spaces designed for innovation and collaboration.

 

Here's what makes experiential learning in EIW so powerful: state-of-the-art resources tailored to electrical engineering and IT, giving you the edge employers crave:

- Cutting-edge labs like the Open Innovation Lab (OIL) for experimenting with hardware/software integration, signal processing, and control tech in interdisciplinary projects.
- Well-equipped computer pools with various software packages, e-learning tools (Moodle, Panopto), printing services, and IT support for group work on AI, embedded systems, and sustainable energy simulations.
- Data Center services including university network, server farms (VmWare), storage, VPN, eduroam WLAN, and identity management to support digital tools and collaborative coding in EIW modules.
- Innovation hubs such as Lake Constance Center for Innovation 4.0, Model Factory, and Institute for Strategic Innovation & Technology Management, perfect for group projects on automation, digitalization, and electro-technological systems.
- Award-winning library and Information and Media Center (IMZ) for research, plus Central Workshops for practical prototyping in electrical and information tech.

These facilities aren't just available—they're integrated into EIW to prepare you for R&D roles in energy, automation, and beyond. Applying is straightforward (deadlines June 1 for winter, November 1 for summer), and with English/German instruction over 7 semesters, it's ideal for building an international career.
