Energy Systems Engineering B.Eng.

The Energy Systems Engineering program at Deggendorf Institute of Technology positions you to become a skilled engineer in one of today's most critical fields. Here's why this program stands out for hands-on, real-world learning.

Your Practical Education Starts Immediately

From day one, you'll engage in active projects across the university's extensive network of 17 technology transfer centers, gaining invaluable real-world experience while learning from cutting-edge research. This isn't theoretical learning in isolation—you're embedded in innovation hubs where you tackle genuine industry challenges alongside faculty and professionals.

The program equips you with scientific and engineering tools to understand how modern energy systems work, from renewable technologies to grid management and storage solutions. You'll develop competency in analyzing current technologies and assessing regenerative energy measures across grid expansion, energy distribution, and storage—skills that directly align with industry demand.

Here's what your hands-on learning environment includes:

- EEE Lab for Electrical and Energy Engineering — a specialized facility where you'll use simulators to understand wind energy generation principles and explore electrochemical energy storage systems
- SPICE simulation software for modeling stationary and unsteady electrical problems, enabling you to design and analyze circuits before building them
- Experimental laboratory sessions where you'll develop practical skills working with multimeters, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and building circuits on experimental boards
- Power electronics coursework covering AC circuits, phasors, transfer functions, filters, and Bode plots with hands-on applications
- Industry partnerships with companies like SIEMENS AG and Glas-Allianz-Bayern that bring real-world relevance to your projects
- Campus research facilities including the Technology Campus Wörth-Wiesent, which focuses on hydrogen technologies and the entire hydrogen value chain through power electronics, electrolysis, and fuel cell research
- Renewable energy infrastructure on campus — you'll study and work within a sustainability-focused environment where the main campus operates exclusively on renewable electrical energy, complete with photovoltaic systems and geothermal heating technology

The Energy Systems Engineering degree (B.Eng., 7 semesters, 210 ECTS) combines electrical systems, thermodynamics, and data science coursework with continuous project engagement, ensuring you graduate with both theoretical knowledge and proven engineering capability.

In the Energy Systems Engineering B.Eng. program at Deggendorf Institute of Technology's European Campus Rottal-Inn, you'll dive right into hands-on learning from day one, building real-world skills in energy efficiency, renewable systems, and sustainable tech through practical labs, simulations, and industry-linked projects. You'll work with cutting-edge tools like the SPICE simulation software to model electrical networks and transients, plus hands-on experiments using multimeters, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and experimental boards to design, analyze, and build circuits—turning theory into tangible expertise. Our faculty emphasizes applying concepts to actual applications, like calculating AC/DC power systems and optimizing energy processes, all backed by partnerships that connect you to live research.

This practical focus shines through in dedicated facilities and opportunities tailored to energy systems:
- Laboratories for electrical engineering fundamentals: Conduct experiments on circuits, filters, phasors, and power factors, gaining skills in measurements and building prototypes on experimental boards.
- SPICE simulation tool: Use this industry-standard software for simulating stationary and unsteady electrical problems, transients via Laplace transforms, and network design.
- Technology Campus Freyung (TCF): Access research on energy efficiency, building automation, renewable energies, decentralized supply, and smart energy generation/consumption for mobility and public spaces.
- Technology Campus Wörth-Wiesent: Engage with hydrogen technologies across the value chain—power electronics, electrolysis, fuel cells, process/system engineering—for climate-neutral solutions like heavy transport.
- Practical specializations and case studies: Tackle real projects on process analysis, sustainability hurdles, and systems theory with labs in physics and thermodynamics.
- Seminaristic teaching with exercises and homework: Develop analysis skills for electrical networks, including complex calculations and Bode plots, preparing you for internships and industry roles.

Imagine applying these skills in internships or projects with partners like those in our energy networks—it's the kind of experience that lands jobs fast. Ready to power up your future? Apply now for the winter semester at Deggendorf: https://www.th-deg.de/ese-b-en (program page with full details).
