Program description

Content

The electrical industry is the second largest industrial sector in Germany after mechanical engineering in terms of the number of employees. With approx. 847,000 employees, a turnover of approx. 179 billion euros is achieved (based on the year 2016, source: de.statista.com). Electrical engineering is thus not only one of the "classic engineering sciences" but also one of the main drivers of national and international technical progress in recent decades.

The Master's programme in Electrical Engineering with at TUHH prepares its graduates for leading positions in the electrical engineering industry and for independent work in research. Accordingly, the Master's education is characterised by a scientific orientation, a focus on content and the teaching of effective, structured, interdisciplinary working methods. The focal points in terms of content are closely linked to the research topics of the institutes of the Dean of Studies and reflect the unity of research and teaching. This always ensures up-to-date lecture content and opportunities to participate in research at the TUHH, e.g. in the context of theses, seminar papers and project work. Furthermore, the content foci of the Master's degree programme are linked to the core subjects of the Bachelor's degree programme in the sense of a consecutive overall degree programme.

In addition to the foundational curriculum taught at TUHH, seminars on developing personal skills are integrated into the dual study programme, in the context of transfer between theory and practice. These seminars correspond to the modern professional requirements expected of an engineer, as well as promoting the link between the two places of learning.

The intensive dual courses at TUHH integrating practical experience consist of an academic-oriented and a practice-oriented element, which are completed at two places of learning. The academic-oriented element comprises study at TUHH. The practice-oriented element is coordinated with the study programme in terms of content and time, and consists of practical modules and phases spent in an affiliate company during periods when there are no lectures.

Career prospects

Successful completion of the Master's degree in electrical engineering enables entry into the typical fields of activity in electrical engineering. These include communications engineering, measurement and control engineering, microsystems engineering and nanoelectronics, electrical power engineering, high-frequency engineering and optical systems.

Electrical engineers are among the most sought-after academics on the labour market. A current evaluation of the data of the Federal Employment Agency proves the increasing demand (Federal Employment Agency: "Berichte: Blickpunkt Arbeitsmarkt - Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure", Nuremberg, 2018). While the number of registered unemployed continues to fall steadily, the number of registered vacancies is increasing significantly at the same time. At the same time, only a fraction of the advertised jobs are reported to the Federal Employment Agency, so that the supply of jobs currently exceeds the demand. Thus, as in previous years, the demand for electrical engineers - especially in the old federal states including Hamburg - cannot be met ("shortage of skilled workers").

The Master's degree also qualifies graduates to take up a doctorate.

In addition, students acquire basic professional and personal skills as part of the dual study programme that enable them to enter professional practice at an early stage and to go on to further study. Students also gain practical work experience through the integrated practical modules. Graduates of the dual course have broad foundational knowledge, fundamental skills for academic work and relevant personal competences.

Learning target

Graduates of the Master's programme in Electrical Engineering should be able to transfer the engineering, mathematical and scientific competences they have acquired during their studies into practice and - if necessary - expand them there independently. They can analyse problems with scientific methods and lead them to a solution, even if the problems are "open" or incompletely defined. They are qualified to work independently in electrical engineering and in related disciplines and can apply, critically question and further develop the methods and procedures required to solve technical and conceptual problems as well as new findings. Furthermore, graduates are qualified to develop designs for challenging projects in one of the specialisations

RF technology, optics and electromagnetic compatibility,
Medical technology,
Communications engineering,
Nanoelectronics and Microsystems Technology and
Control and power engineering

and plan them, taking into account the necessary clarifications and examination of available information. The learning objectives are divided into the following categories: knowledge, skills, social competence and independence.

Knowledge

Students can reproduce in-depth mathematical and scientific knowledge and underpin this with a broad theoretical and methodological foundation. This includes the fields of high-frequency engineering, control engineering, microsystems engineering and nanoelectronics, all of which are compulsory courses in the first semester.
The students can explain the principles, methods and application areas of the specialisations in electrical engineering in detail. The specialisations are (1) RF technology, optics and electromagnetic compatibility, (2) medical engineering, (3) modelling and simulation, (4) communications engineering, (5) nanoelectronics and microsystems engineering and (6) control and power engineering.
Students can name the basics in the field of operations and management and related subjects such as patenting and relate them to their subject
Students can cite the elements of scientific work and research and can give an overview of their application in electrical engineering.

Skills

For all specialisations

Graduates are able to assess complex control engineering systems, test their functionality and analyse and optimise microsystems engineering and nanoelectronic circuits. Furthermore, they are able to work out high-frequency solutions and give an overview of procedures and possible applications of digital message transmission (core qualifications).
Students are able to investigate or assess future technologies and scientific developments and are qualified to conduct independent research (qualification for doctorate).

Specialization in RF technology, optics and electromagnetic compatibility

Students master the theory-based application of very demanding methods and procedures in RF technology, optics and electromagnetic compatibility.

Students can describe more complex problems of antenna theory, work out solution procedures for subproblems with CAD simulations and create an overall solution from this. They are able to analyse, simulate and evaluate effects in RF circuits.
Students are able to mathematically describe fibre-optic and integrated optical wave propagation, to derive approximate solutions in modelling and to estimate influencing factors on system components.
Students are able to apply different methods for calculating electromagnetic fields and wave propagation and to discuss the results. They can also estimate and analyse the influence with regard to electromagnetic compatibility and weigh up different solutions against each other.

Specialisation in medical technology

Students master the theory-based application of very sophisticated methods and procedures in medical technology.

Students can explain the mode of operation and possible applications of clinical imaging procedures and interpret effects of the most important classes of imaging sensors and displays using mathematical methods and physical models.
Students can design and evaluate navigation and robotic systems for medical applications. They are able to justify a selection and adaptation of classification, regression and prediction methods and can evaluate these using clinical example data and implement the corresponding methods.
Students are able to analyse medical electronic applications and the feasibility of microsystems, design process sequences for the production of microstructures and apply these.

Specialisation in Communications Engineering

Students master the theory-based application of very demanding methods and procedures in communications engineering.

Students are able to evaluate the performance of message transmission procedures and communication networks and explain the effects that occur as well as solve typical planning and optimisation tasks.
Students are able to compare, select and dimension transmission procedures, data compression procedures (source coding) and error correction procedures (channel coding) with the help of basic information-theoretical methods. They are able to implement these procedures in software. In particular, they can determine the limits of data compression or the data transmission rate and thus dimension a transmission procedure.
Students can apply methods of statistics to problems in communication technology and signal processing. They can analyse feature evaluations and classifications in a theoretically and methodologically sound manner.

Specialisation in nanoelectronics and microsystems technology

The students master the theory-based application of very demanding methods and procedures of nanoelectronics and microsystems technology.
They can design electronic circuits (analogue and digital), calculate deviations of integrated components and noise spectra and verify them by simulation. They can determine the cost-benefit ratio of different design approaches.
Students are able to analyse the feasibility of microsystems, carry out an analysis of the influences of process parameters, design process sequences for the manufacture of microstructures and apply these.
The students can derive models and mathematical descriptions with regard to free wave propagation as well as quantum optical phenomena and processes and find approximate solutions.

Specialisation in Control and Power Engineering

The students master the theory-based application of very demanding methods and procedures of control and energy technology.

Students are able to optimise processes and select methods for abstract tasks that lead to desired results.
Students are able to apply technologies and procedures for planning or analysing electrical energy systems, to evaluate the results, to calculate and analyse the dynamic behaviour and stability of electrical energy systems using suitable modelling.
Students are able to analyse complex linear and non-linear systems, apply and implement control engineering methods and carry out comprehensive mathematical simulations.

Social competence

The students are able to present the procedure and results of their work in writing and orally in German and English in a comprehensible way.
The students can communicate about advanced contents and problems of electrical engineering with specialists and laypersons in German and English. They can respond appropriately to queries, additions and comments.
The students are able to work in groups. They can define, distribute and integrate subtasks. They can make time arrangements and interact socially. They have the ability and willingness to take on leadership responsibility.

Competence to work independently

Students are able to obtain necessary information and put it into the context of their knowledge
The students can realistically assess their existing competences, independently compensate for deficits and make meaningful additions
The students can work out research areas in a self-organised and self-motivated manner and find or define new problems (lifelong research).

By continually switching places of learnings throughout the dual study programme, it is possible for theory and practice to be interlinked. Students reflect theoretically on their individual professional practical experience, and apply the results of their reflection to new forms of practice. They also test theoretical elements of the course in a practical setting, and use their findings as a stimulus for theoretical debate.

Program structure

The curriculum of the Master's programme in Electrical Engineering is structured as follows:

Core qualification: 14 modules, 84 LP, 1st - 3rd semester.
Consolidation: 36 LP, 2nd and 3rd semester
Master's thesis: 30 LP, 4th semester

The subject-specific teaching of the core qualification is divided into:

Theoretical foundations of the specialisation: 5 modules, 30 LP, 1st semester
Technical supplementary courses: 2 modules, 12 LP, 2nd and 3rd semester

In addition to subject modules, the core qualification also includes interdisciplinary modules:

Operations & Management: 6 LP, 1st - 3rd semester
Ndual courses in the Master's programme: 6 LP, 1st - 3rd semester

The choice of a specialisation is compulsory.

The specialisations of the Master's degree programme are:

RF technology, optics and electromagnetic compatibility,
Medical technology,
Communications engineering,
Nanoelectronics and Microsystems Technology and
Control and Power Engineering.

Within a specialisation, students can and must select from an elective catalogue within the framework of the prescribed number of credit points of 36 LP, corresponding to a share of 30% of the curriculum. The subject modules of the specialisations are listed individually in the module handbook. Within each specialisation, at least one module "Research Project and Seminar" must be taken, whereby the assignment to the specialisation results from the topics worked on. In order to ensure a balanced ratio of formal and practical teaching content in the theoretical and application areas of the curriculum despite great individual freedom in the selection of courses, cross-sectional courses (theoretical foundations of the specialisations) amounting to 30 ECTS, corresponding to a share of 25% of the curriculum, are compulsory for all students in the first semester. These include the modules Digital Communications, Electrical Power Systems, High Frequency Technology, Microsystems Technology, Theory and Design of Control Systems. Further leeway in the individual design of the study plan is offered by the technical supplementary courses, which can be selected from the technical overall catalogue of all Master's lectures at the TUHH to the extent of 12 LP, corresponding to a share of 10% of the curriculum. The remaining part of the curriculum is made up of the non-technical subjects with a share of also 10% and the Master's thesis with a share of 25%.

The curriculum includes a mobility window such that students can complete the second or third semester abroad.

The structural model of the dual study programme follows a module-differentiating approach. Given the practice-oriented element, the curriculum of the dual study programme is different compared to a standard Bachelor’s course. Five practical modules are completed at the dual students’ partner company as part of corresponding practical terms during lecture-free periods.

Specialization Medical Technology

The specialization ‚Medical Technology‘ offers students the opportunity to put an interdisciplinary focus in their studies. On the one hand, a series of technical modules foster an in-depth understanding of modern medical technology, particularly with respect to electrical engineering. On the other hand, modules on medical topics provide insight into clinical problems, environments and terminology. Students will be able to design, implement, and evaluate methods, algorithms and systems in the context of clinical scenarios. The assessment will be based on their knowledge of the complex system ‘patient’. Hence, competencies developed in this specialization at the interface between electrical engineering and medicine prepare students for positions in industry and academia.

Content	The lecture deals with technical principles and related concepts of mobile communications. In this context, the main focus is put on the physical and data link layer of the ISO-OSI stack. In the lecture, the transmission medium, i.e., the mobile radio channel, serves as the starting point of all considerations. The characteristics and the mathematical descriptions of the radio channel are discussed in detail. Subsequently, various physical layer aspects of wireless transmission are covered, such as channel coding, modulation/demodulation, channel estimation, synchronization, and equalization. Moreover, the different uses of multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver, known as MIMO techniques, are described. Besides these physical layer topics, concepts of multiple access schemes in a cellular network are outlined. In order to illustrate the above-mentioned technical solutions, the lecture will also provide a system view, highlighting the basics of some contemporary wireless systems, including LTE, LTE Advanced, and 5G New Radio.

Compilers for Embedded Systems (L1693)	Project-/problem-based Learning	1	2

Module Responsible	Prof. Heiko Falk
Admission Requirements	None
Recommended Previous Knowledge	Module "Embedded Systems" C/C++ Programming skills
Educational Objectives	After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge	The relevance of embedded systems increases from year to year. Within such systems, the amount of software to be executed on embedded processors grows continuously due to its lower costs and higher flexibility. Because of the particular application areas of embedded systems, highly optimized and application-specific processors are deployed. Such highly specialized processors impose high demands on compilers which have to generate code of highest quality. After the successful attendance of this course, the students are able to illustrate the structure and organization of such compilers, to distinguish and explain intermediate representations of various abstraction levels, and to assess optimizations and their underlying problems in all compiler phases. The high demands on compilers for embedded systems make effective code optimizations mandatory. The students learn in particular, which kinds of optimizations are applicable at the source code level, how the translation from source code to assembly code is performed, which kinds of optimizations are applicable at the assembly code level, how register allocation is performed, and how memory hierarchies can be exploited effectively. Since compilers for embedded systems often have to optimize for multiple objectives (e.g., average- or worst-case execution time, energy dissipation, code size), the students learn to evaluate the influence of optimizations on these different criteria.
Skills	After successful completion of the course, students shall be able to translate high-level program code into machine code. They will be enabled to assess which kind of code optimization should be applied most effectively at which abstraction level (e.g., source or assembly code) within a compiler. While attending the labs, the students will learn to implement a fully functional compiler including optimizations.
Personal Competence
Social Competence	Students are able to solve similar problems alone or in a group and to present the results accordingly.
Autonomy	Students are able to acquire new knowledge from specific literature and to associate this knowledge with other classes.

Content	Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Engineering deals with design, simulation, measurement, and certification of electronic and electric components and systems in such a way that their operation is safe, reliable, and efficient in any possible application. Safety is hereby understood as safe with respect to parasitic effects of electromagnetic fields on humans as well as on the operation of other components and systems nearby. Examples for components and systems range from the wiring in aircraft and ships to high-speed interconnects in server systems and wirless interfaces for brain implants. In this part of the course we will give an introduction to the physical basics of EMC engineering and then show how methods of Machine Learning (ML) can be applied to expand todays physcis-based approaches in EMC Engineering.
