Automotive engineering and mechatronics

From vehicle aerodynamics to microcontroller boards, the Automotive Technology Laboratory offers a rich spectrum of state-of-the-art technology, which is used in the context of events from the study courses Automotive Engineering, Automotive Engineering+ and E-Mobility. The infrastructure of the laboratory is also accessible to projects related to automotive engineering, such as Formula Student, the E-Beetle and other student projects. When it comes to determining the performance of vehicles, our chassis dynamometer enjoys great popularity among companies and private individuals from the surrounding area.
