Bachelor Electrical Engineering and Information Technology [B.Eng.]

In the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology [B.Eng.] at Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences (RWU), you'll dive right into hands-on learning from day one, building practical skills through labs, projects, and real-world applications that turn theory into working tech. The program emphasizes translating scientific knowledge into marketable products, with intensive laboratory exercises, project work, case studies, computer simulations, CAD for circuit design, and software development—all integrated across semesters. Right from the basic studies in semesters 1-3, you'll tackle modules like Electrical Engineering 1, Digital Technology, Computer Technology, and Programming with practical lab work, then specialize in automation or communications while gaining team-based project experience.

Here's how our experiential learning sets you up for success:
- Mandatory internship semester (5th semester, 30 ECTS/26 weeks): Work independently on real electrical engineering tasks in a company, applying skills like electric drive development, mechatronic systems, and automotive projects.
- Practical lab work and courses throughout: Hands-on sessions in modules like Digital Signal Processing, Microcontrollers, High Frequency Engineering, Automation, Control Engineering, and Communication Networks, with 60 hours of lab presence per key module.
- Team projects and independent work: Electrical engineering projects done generally independently or in teams, plus project management, communication, and self-organization skills via seminars and the Bachelor's thesis prep.
- Software and digital tools: In-depth programming training, software development, CAD for circuits/systems design, and computer simulations in basic and main studies.
- Specialized modules with labs: Practical courses tied to electromobility, regenerative energies, and more, building on K90 prerequisites for portfolio-assessed lab work.

This practical focus, combined with our bilingual setup (English semesters 1-4, German 5-7 with free language prep), makes RWU grads highly employable—imagine jumping straight into innovative roles shaping the future of tech.

Why Bachelor Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at RWU is Your Gateway to Real-World Innovation

If you're serious about becoming an electrical engineer who doesn't just understand theory but can actually *build* solutions, RWU's program is designed exactly for that. This isn't a program where you sit in lectures and hope it makes sense later—it's built on the principle that you learn by doing, from day one.

Experiential Learning: Where Theory Meets Real Engineering

The Electrical Engineering and Information Technology program emphasizes practical training and modern facilities, ensuring you're working with the same tools and methods used in industry. Rather than memorizing concepts in isolation, you'll apply electrical engineering principles immediately through numerous exercises in laboratories, project work, and case studies that provide intensive reference to practical work. The curriculum is deliberately structured so that after your foundational semesters, you move into specialized modules that deepen knowledge in control engineering, automation technology, microcontrollers, digital signal processing, and high-frequency technology—all while working hands-on with actual equipment.

Here's what makes this experiential learning concrete and career-ready:

- Mandatory practical internship semester (Semester 5): You work independently on real engineering tasks in companies, gaining experience in automation technology, energy technology, communication technology, and electronic systems development
- Laboratory courses integrated throughout: Each technical module includes dedicated lab work (typically 60 hours of laboratory presence per semester-long course)
- CAD and computer simulation tools: Students use computers for circuit and system design, preparing you for the software environments you'll encounter professionally
- Project-based learning: Modules emphasize project work where you develop teamwork, self-organization, and project management skills
- Hands-on technical applications including planning and design of electronic circuits, testing of networks and systems, software development, and mechatronic systems in vehicle technology
- Bachelor's thesis with real-world focus: Your final project (360 working hours) tackles genuine engineering problems, often in collaboration with companies
- Two specialization tracks (Communication Technology or Automation Technology): You choose your focus area and take specialized elective modules tailored to your career interests

This approach means that by graduation, you won't just have a degree—you'll have a portfolio of real projects, industrial internship experience, and the practical confidence that employers are actively looking for.
