Electrical Engineering

If you would like to help shape one of the key technologies for sustainable technical progress, then the electrical engineering degree is just right for you! The degree in electrical engineering at TU Dresden combines all of the contents of the Bachelor and Master’s degree and combines these with other skills in a classic diploma degree. We made a conscious decision to retain the academic degree of qualified engineer (Dipl.-Ing.): Graduated engineers enjoy a very good reputation and have excellent career prospects in industry and business. The graduate engineer is at least equivalent to the master’s degree: We confirm this to our graduates with a certificate. They are given a well-known and proven seal of quality, which ideally prepares them for industrial and scientific professional activities.

Human-machine interaction, modern energy systems, sensors and sensor systems, biomedical technology, information and entertainment electronics, electromobility - these are just a few examples of the numerous specialist areas in electrical engineering. Products and developments in electrical engineering are omnipresent, contained in many things in everyday life and have become indispensable in many areas. Everyday life without electrical and electronic devices is hardly imaginable these days. Electrical engineering, and in particular electrical energy engineering, is central to the new solutions that are urgently needed in the energy transition by 2050, the resource-neutral coverage of our entire social energy needs. Electrical energy is therefore the most important resource in our society. Their environmentally friendly, efficient generation, transmission and optimized use in devices is a central task in electrical engineering and the most important lifeline for a sustainable lifestyle in a modern society.

Electrical engineering includes all processes that deal with the generation, use and distribution of electricity. Electrical engineers develop devices and processes based on electrical energy. Electrical engineering uses electrical and electromagnetic phenomena and laws for technical applications. How is electricity created? How is it transmitted from one place to another? How can we use it? How does a smartphone work? How is a power plant supplied with electricity? - Just a few of the many questions that electrical engineering deals with. For some time now, electrical engineering has been increasingly shaped by information technology, communications engineering, communication technology and microelectronics, and computer science is also becoming increasingly important.
