Objective

Do you want to actively shape the electromobility of tomorrow? Then this specialization is just right for you.

While many universities limit themselves exclusively to the topic of electromobility, you will learn about all aspects at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. Among other things, your lecturers will be researching intelligent charging infrastructure and the networking of cars with their surroundings, which will support drivers in tricky situations and finally make driving congestion-free. While other students often only learn how an e-car is built, here in Mittweida you will also learn how production is designed.

The versatile knowledge you acquire with us will later help you develop solutions to problems for innovative topics as a development or test engineer.

With the help of their many years of professional experience, our professors prepare you individually for your professional life in small groups. This is also ensured by modern laboratories; in 2018, a new building for testing electromobility components, construction and 3D printing was inaugurated at our faculty.

Career prospects

No one questions that the future of mobility is electric. Even the automobile country Japan has now announced that from 2050 only cars with an electric motor will be registered. Norway even wants to abolish the internal combustion engine as early as 2025.

This change is a huge opportunity for young engineers. Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are already desperately seeking academically educated electrical engineers to manage and support the change.

The jobs that will be secure for years to come are right on the doorstep: BMW is producing the i3 in Leipzig, its first electric car in series production, and Porsche will also produce e-cars here. In Zwickau, VW builds up to 330,000 electrically powered vehicles per year, and the Transparent Factory in Dresden also serves as an innovation laboratory.

Structure

Networked electromobility is a specialization of our Electrical Engineering-Automation program, which offers you several advantages.

As with all engineering courses, you will learn technical and scientific basics in the first year. At Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, you can use these two semesters as an additional orientation phase.

You have a whole year longer to examine your interests, while at the same time building up a comprehensive foundation of knowledge. This allows you to make the choice that is really right for you. Only at the end of the second semester do you choose your specialization from the three specializations Automation-Industry 4.0, networked electromobility and mechatronics.

In the further course of your studies, you will use your interests in a targeted manner and perfect your knowledge. You will learn the theory in small groups, and our practical projects will prepare you perfectly for your professional life. You will gain experience, for example, in the Formula Student Motorsport Team TMM, where you will develop an electric racing car, travel through Europe and use it in international races against other universities.
