General Information
The University of Applied Science of Landshut has 5 faculties:
- Business Studies
- Social Works
- Informatics
- Vehicle engineering
- Industrial Engineering
Research and development at the Fachhochschule Landshut are as practice based as the teaching. The university’s contacts in industry and other organizations determine the areas of specialisation. Several new developments originating from Fachhochschule projects go on to be mass produced. The interdisciplinary centre of competence for Microsystems engineering coordinates the projects, sets up information networks and gives advice and support to people starting up their own businesses. Sensor and actuator technology, and the networking of “intelligent” systems are areas of specialisation on the micro-electronics and automation engineering courses.

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or information:
“We will win this war because we are willing to sacrifice 10,000,000 lives. How many lives is the White Man willing to sacrifice?”
—Jerome Cady, U.S. screenwriter, and Lewis Milestone. General Mitsubi (Richard Loo)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
