Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

Its 15 institutes – including two interdepartmental research centers – and approximately 1500 students put the department in the very heart of engineering at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH). By focusing on automation, energy, information and communication technology and electronic components and circuits, the faculty puts students in touch with all of the cutting-edge areas of electrical engineering and information technology.

The demand for components and systems for the fast transfer, storage, visualization and processing of information is steadily increasing. Hybrid and quantum components and molecular electronics result in completely new possibilities for future information processing and storage.

Microelectronic and nanoelectronic components also enable the so-called System on Chip (SoC): the integration of complete microelectronic systems onto a single silicon chip has become feasible through the rapid development of CMOS VLSI technology. This demands cost-effective technology, application specific hardware/software architectures and highly efficient design methods.

Other research areas include:

Mechatronics – new functions through interdisciplinary research
Energy at the cross roads of ecology and economics
Fuel cells: a technology for the future
Wireless communication: effective planning of transmitter networks
Systems engineering: personal health monitoring
Aviation and aeronautics
Microelectronics, nanoelectronics and optoelectronics
