Wireless and Sensor Technologies, Master of Science: Electrical Engineering

The specialization “Wireless and Sensor Technologies” addresses the interaction of sensor technologies and wireless communications technologies with a strong focus on hardware competence as well as physical layer aspects of communications networks. It reflects the rapidly increasing demand for (distributed) sensor systems, low power with wireless connections as well as the trend to merging the fields of sensing, control engineering, and communications known as “joint communications, sensing and control.” Mobile access and insight in the status of remote processes is the backbone for a world relying on ubiquitous data accessibility of cloud based services.

Sensing and communications are keys for many modern technologies such as cyber physical systems, medical technology, automotive, autonomous or assisted driving, industrial automation and production, industry 4.0, entertainment, consumer industry, security etc.

In this respect, the program addresses this rapidly evolving area by laying in-depth foundations for the design, analysis and implementation of sensor systems and wireless transmission systems.

What characterizes this Specialization?

Our daily life is full of smart electronic solutions. The smartphone has become an important companion, we use Bluetooth headphones to make phone calls or listen to music, our wearables are charged wirelessly, and we can share extensive videos and images on the go without significant waiting time. Wireless and sensor technologies are also working for us behind the scenes. Non-contact sensors record the current traffic situation in real time, miniaturized sensor nodes harvest energy from the environment and transmit their measurement data wirelessly to the cloud, where this data can for instance also be used in cyber-physical models to predict the renewable energy generated within the next few hours. Networked manufacturing facilities enable individualized products while minimizing the use of resources.

The international specialization "Wireless and Sensor Technologies" within the Master's program in Electrical Engineering is aimed at interested students who want to learn, understand, apply and improve these technologies. Help shape our future! Wireless and sensor technologies are also an important component towards solutions against worsening climate change and mitigating its effects, increasing our comfort and enabling synergies between the real and virtual world.

The modules, which are held in English language throughout, also allow international students to choose this exciting specialization. The focus is on the electrical engineering hardware aspects of wireless and sensor systems. The master program Electrical Engineering spans two years (four semesters) with a start in October each year. It includes about two semesters of lectures and internships and almost two semesters devoted to working in a research team (project work) and writing a master's thesis. The academic degree "Master of Science" is awarded.

How is the program structured?

Wireless and Sensor Technologies is a specialization within the Master program Electrical Engineering.The program is organized as a two-year course (four semesters) which starts on 1st October and 1st April each year. It includes two semesters of lectures and practical courses and two semesters devoted to work in a research team (project work) and to the preparation of a master’s thesis. The “Master of Science” degree will be awarded. Language of the program is English.

 

All admission modalities are laid down in the Satzung über das Studium (Statutes on Studying at the TUHH).

The Module Handbook describes the concrete difinitions of a programm's modules and the educational objectives. They also give information about content, recommended precognitions and preparation literature 

The basic conditions of TUHH examinations are regulated by the General Provisions (ASPO) and the current regulation and course plan (FSPO).
