As part of our research work and projects together with local industry, we always have interesting topics for Bachelor and Master theses, as well as student research projects, on offer for the following courses of study:

• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Industrial Engineering and Management
• Computer Science Engineering
• Physics
• Mathematics/Technical Mathematics

Many of these topics are integrated in externally funded research projects in which we work together with renowned companies in Germany and throughout the EU; this allows students to gain first experiences working in the “real world”. As it is critical for the success of a thesis or a research project that the topic fits the needs and capabilities of the particular student, we do our best to ensure that each student is individually offered the optimum topic for their needs and wishes.

For more information about currently available topics, please take a look at the projects listed in the table below (please note: in most cases, the PDF description of the project is available in German only.  For more information on a specific topic, please contact the adviser given to the right). Should you not find exactly what you are looking for, we are also ready and willing to modify topics or objective to suit your needs and wishes.

Please get in touch with us!

Alternatively, you will find the tenders in our showcases in buildings P1 on level 3 (at our offices), P4 on levels 3 and 4, P5 on level 2 (opposite P5.2.01) and in P6 on level 1.

For the processing of most of our topics, the work with software tools is necessary. In order for you to be able to concentrate on the scientific content as much as possible during the processing time, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the software to be used (e.g. MATLAB, ANSYS, ADAMS) beforehand. In most cases, this is easily possible from home with the student versions of the software, some of which are available free of charge, and versatile tutorials from the respective providers. If you lack the necessary equipment, we will gladly provide you with access to our computers; please contact us. Below you will find a list of common software tools incl. links to tutorials:
