The speedy developments in many areas of technology are an indicator of growth in modern industrial nations. Long-term, sustainable economic development can only be achieved via technologies that have a low impact on resources and the environment. In order to be internationally competitive, intelligent solutions for products and processes are required.
 
Electrical engineering and its various disciplines have a significant influence on these developments. In the future responsible and engaged graduate engineers will also be required, whose work is characterised above all by interdisciplinary technical knowledge and readiness to take action.
