Profile

The aim of engineering education is to develop engineers with high professional competence. In eleven laboratories, our faculty ensures education according to the most modern standards - practical, individual, high-quality and future-oriented.

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is one of the founding faculties of Ravensburg-Weingarten University. It offers qualified education in four Bachelor's degree programs and two Master's degree programs.
Through the trade teacher study program Automotive Engineering PLUS Teaching Post, the spectrum of the faculty is supplemented by a didactic/pedagogical component.
