We shape the future
One precondition for innovation and enterprise is the study and application of basic physical and chemical phenomena as well as the integration of new, often multidisciplinary technologies, methods and tools.
Our activities cover the engineering, technological and economic knowledge necessary to be able to develop new products, material and production processes in a sustainable fashion as concerns technical management, financial profitability and the environment. The school has a strong faculty with about 50 professors.

The focus is on industrial design and innovation, product and production development, sustainable energy technology, energy system analysis, climate system and policy studies, materials development, micro and nano technology, industrial economics, organisation and management as well as learning.
