Research Focus
In Mechanical Engineering, one of the areas of research is in automotive engineering. 7 professorships work on projects in this area, including:
- Acoustics
- Propulsion
- Computer-aided engineering
- Chassis
- Production engineering
- Simulators
For example, a hybrid drive unit is being researched for industrial trucks in cooperation with industry.
In Electrical Engineering, one of the areas of research is telecommunications, which includes:
- Audio coding
- Wireless transmission systems
- Video recognition systems
In educational sciences, the focus is on the areas of professional and organizational education, adult education and history. The establishment of a uniform German Qualifications Framework in the context of the European Qualifications Framework may be traced back in no small part to the work of the professor for professional and organizational education in the working group of the Federal Ministry for Education and Research, through expert advice and support.
In economic and management sciences, the emphasis is on logistics, business administration and economics, and political science. Gender topics have also been researched for years.

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or focus:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
