Electrical and Computer Engineering

High demand for EE and ECE engineers with excellent job and career options in Germany and worldwide:
A recent survey by a German engineering association showed high demand for Electrical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering engineers. Currently, inside Germany alone, there are twice as many positions than graduates, hence, ample job opportunities.

Highly qualified Constructor University graduates with best employment perspectives:
Higher demands for ECE engineers are to be expected. This is partly due to general economic trends but especially related to unusually low student numbers in recent years. Especially, due to rapid developments, fundamental principles and cross-boundary knowledge become increasingly important. In addition, the required qualification profiles and personal attitudes differ for academic versus industrial careers. The ECE program at Constructor University responds to all of these conditions for a successful career through the flexibility of the program and the trans-disciplinary education. Constructor University ECE graduates start their careers in very diverse companies, successfully continue at renowned universities, or stay with Constructor University for graduate education or a PhD.

Our graduating students start their career paths in the leading companies or research centers:
Career paths after graduation are very diverse. Constructor ECE alumni work in the aerospace industry, telecommunications, the automotive and energy sector, and in the field of information technology, in academia, at research centers, in management, and in consultancy, even in finance. Having checked exemplary career paths of 75 former Constructor ECE students, we found an enormous manifold of companies, research centers, and universities, where our alumni went or are currently working. It starts from well-known big companies, like Bosch, Continental, Deutsche Telekom, E.on, Ericsson, Google, Infineon, Intel, Nokia Bell Labs, Texas Instruments, Volkswagen, midsize ones, like Kapsch, Hirschmann, OHB, Rohde & Schwartz, to numerous small ones and start-ups like DSI, Snips, to consulting companies like McKinsey, Business Technology Consulting, Deloitte, financial institutions like PricewaterhouseCoopers, OpenLink Financial, even to companies like Fresenius and Proctor and Gamble, that would not come to mind immediately as typical workplaces for ECE graduates. Interestingly, also after intermediate further education steps or employments in other countries, a high percentage of alumni have found their long-term home in Germany and also Bremen.

Excellent track record for successful Master and PhD career paths:
Further graduate education that our students chose, is also covering a wide spectrum. Graduates have been accepted by universities like TUM, EPFL, ETH, Univ. of Edinburgh, KTH, Eindhoven, KU Leuven, Louvain, Politecnico di Torino, Berkeley, Rice, UCSD, Constructor University itself. After PhD, some of our students followed research paths at universities and research centers, like Fraunhofer, DLR, OFFIS, some are already teaching as professors or lecturers. A few earlier students already received prestigious industrial and research awards, like Forbes 30 under 30 and the Donald P. Eckman Award. In line with the high demand for engineers, all ECE graduates successfully found employment. Likewise, they were able to easily adapt at many graduate schools as the preparation during Bachelor’s had already covered contents of graduate modules to the advantage of our students.

Individual Career planning and coaching as well as study abroad and internship offerings:
Already during their studies the Constructor University Career Services Center (CSC) as well as the Alumni Office, and, of course, faculty itself, help students in their career development. The CSC provides students with high-quality training and coaching in CV creation, cover letter formulation, interview preparation, effective presenting, business etiquette, and employer research as well as in many other aspects, thus helping students identify and follow up rewarding careers after their time at Constructor University. Furthermore, the Alumni Office helps students establish a long-lasting and worldwide network which comes in handy when exploring job options in academia, industry, and elsewhere.
