Welcome at the Faculty of Engineering

We research, develop and teach engineering sciences in the field of electrical engineering, information technology, energy technology, building technology, environmental technology and mechanical engineering.

Research and Development (R&D) at the Faculty of Engineering is based on the know-how of our scientists. They dedicate their expertise in the engineering sciences to challenge vital issues of emerging, future technologies. Our institutes often plan and implement their research and development projects in cooperation with enterprises and scientific institutions and therefore the projects are interdisciplinary and application oriented.

We offer Bachelor and Master Courses such as Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (EIT), Energy, Building and Environmental Technology (EGU) and Mechanical Engineering (MB). Studying at the Faculty of Engineering is closely linked with recent research and practical application. Our students get pracitcal insight in vocational fields during their education. Some get to know their potential employer during their education and others already develop their own innovative research projects.

Our students also benefit from our exchange programs with universities abroad such as the cooperation between the Faculty of Engineering HTWK Leipzig and the Université d'Artois. This exchange program enables students from Leipzig to participate in the CATIA-Traineeship at the Université d'Artois in Béthune and students from Béthune can participate at the thematic seminar "Process chains for quality assurance using the example of a reverse engineering process" in Leipzig.
