Profile

From vehicle aerodynamics to microcontroller boards, the Automotive Engineering Laboratory offers a rich spectrum of state-of-the-art technology that is used in courses from the Automotive Engineering, Automotive Engineering+ and E-Mobility degree programs. Projects related to automotive engineering, such as the Formula Student, the E-beetle and other student projects, the infrastructure of the laboratory is accessible by arrangement. Our chassis dynamometer is very popular with companies and private individuals from the surrounding area for determining the performance of vehicles.
