The recording of this data forms part of a research project aimed at developing algorithms based on artificial intelligence. In future, this information is intended to support the analysis of the competition tactics employed by German canoeists in a wide range of international competitions. © Daniel Matthes, Patrick Frenzel, HTWK Leipzig

Engineering degree programme PHOTO | Master’s student Karl Marbach worked on generating automated workflow time analyses (MTM analyses) from video sequences as part of his Master’s project. MTM analyses are used in industrial settings, particularly in the planning and evaluation of manual assembly tasks. To this end, Marbach is developing an algorithm that utilises the recorded movements to improve existing assembly processes. © Karl Marbach, HTWK Leipzig

Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering

Members of the Faculty of Engineering conduct research and teach in the following areas:

The close integration of teaching, research and professional practice characterises the engineering degree programmes at our Faculty. During their studies, students can also gain practical insight into modern professional fields, get to know potential employers whilst still studying, develop their own innovative research projects and help shape the future.
