Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the Technical University of Munich
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the Technical University of Munich is one of the largest faculties of its kind in Germany. The current 46 chairs and professorships cover all classic fields of electrical engineering and information technology in research and teaching. Currently 3500 students (as of 12/2017) are enrolled in the 5 courses (1 Bachelor , 4 Master ).
History of the faculty
In 1869, King Ludwig II founded the Munich Polytechnic . The first lectures in the field of electricity were given by the physicist Wilhelm von Bezold in 1876 , at that time still within the General Faculty. The area of electrical engineering became more and more important over the years, both in people's everyday lives and within the university, so that in 1934 a separate department for electrical engineering emerged within mechanical engineering. In 1967 the faculty was renamed the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering and six electrical engineering institutions were able to establish themselves permanently: Institute for Electrical Telecommunications and Measurement Technology, Institute for Electrical Machines and Devices, Institute for Electrical Systems and High Voltage Technology, Electrophysical Institute, Institute for Technical Electronics, Institute for High Frequency Technology. In April 1974, the new electrical engineering faculty was formally established. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is still located on the main site in downtown Munich. A new building is planned on the Garching research campus in the next few years . The groundbreaking was in April 2018.
research
Chairs and professorships are coming together in nine Centers of Competence (CoC) to better network common research interests. As a rule, multiple memberships are maintained in the competence centers.
- CoC electronic, optoelectronic and hybrid components
- CoC electronics for the life sciences
- CoC communication technology
- CoC Design of Electronic Circuits and Systems
- CoC Embedded and Cyber-physical Systems
- CoC Electromagnetic Sensors and Measurement Systems
- CoC neuro-engineering
- CoC Power Systems of the Future
- CoC Robotics, Autonomy and Interaction
courses
In addition to a six-semester bachelor's degree, the faculty offers 4 master's degree programs.
- Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
- Master of Science in Communications Engineering (international)
- Master of Science in Power Engineering (international)
- Master of Science in Neuroengineering (international, funded by the Bavarian Elite Network )
In addition, the faculty offers a one-week trial course before the start of the course. In cooperation with the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore , the faculty also offers two joint degree programs:
- Master of Science in Integrated Circuit Design
- Master of Science in Green Electronics
