The Department of Computer Engineering combines hardware and software to create powerful, networked computer systems. The focus is on operating systems, computer engineering and the Internet of Things (IoT) - from embedded systems and modern computer architectures to intelligent, networked devices. The subject area teaches the fundamentals and technologies that make digital systems reliable, efficient and future-proof.
Embedded systems for smart, networked sensors and actuators
Microcomputer technology, multiprocessor systems / multicore systems
ARM-based embedded systems, distributed embedded systems
The following courses, among others, are supported by the department
The department uses the computer networks laboratory, which is separated from the campus network by an internal firewall and also allows security-sensitive laboratory exercises to be carried out.
The network laboratory is equipped with 32 workstations to support teaching in the fields of information technology, operating systems, computer networks and secure IT systems. In addition, network components are available for setting up network environments (16 routers, 16 switches and WLAN access points).
Approx. 25 IRIS sensor nodes from Memsic and approx. 25 Raspberry PI modules (each with various sensor modules for measuring temperature, pressure, humidity, sound, light intensity and acceleration as well as GPS modules) are available for the subject areas "Wireless sensor-actuator networks", "IoT" and "Ubiquitous computing", as well as various stereo and 3D cameras.
