Faculty for Mechanical Engineering

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is one of the founding faculties of the Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences. It offers a qualified education in four Bachelor courses and two Master courses.
The trade teacher course "Automotive engineering  PLUS teaching post" completes the spectrum of the faculty with a didactic/pedagogical component.
Currently there are about 600 students enrolled at the faculty. Eleven laboratories guarantee a modern and practical education. The teaching is practice- and project-oriented. An outstanding project is the development and production of a Formula Student racing car.
