As a building services engineer, you don’t tinker with individual products, but develop and optimize the systems in which technology interacts. You plan, develop, organize, monitor, you support customers and prepare offers. In this way, you change the big picture and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

The demand for engineers in building services engineering is constantly growing. The employers are as diverse as the tasks in building technology. These include engineering and planning offices for technical building equipment, manufacturers of building technology systems and components, operators of large properties such as airports, hospitals or hotels, but also the public sector. They are all looking for engineers who are technically versed and can also assess issues in larger contexts. With your bachelor’s degree, you will fit this profile perfectly.

The course of study is divided into three sections.

Basic studies:

First, you will learn the necessary basics of natural sciences and engineering together with students in the Energy Technology and Environmental Technology programs.

Advanced studies:

Starting in the third semester, you will deepen your knowledge in the field of building services engineering. You will learn about the individual technical trades, how to analyze, calculate and evaluate them. In doing so, you will follow the approach of a comprehensive, integral planning methodology.
This includes technical modules such as heating, indoor air, refrigeration and plumbing technology, building automation, control and regulation technology, gas technology, or smart building engineering.
You will learn how to plan and design building technology systems in the modules integrated planning, building-automation planning, building energy technology, or energetic building assessment.

Practical phase and graduation:

In the seventh semester, you will gain practical experience in a 12-week practical phase in a company. Afterwards, you will write your Bachelor’s thesis. And after successful completion, you will be awarded the academic degree of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) as an engineer in building services.

Small working groups: Engineers are team players. Your studies will also prepare you for this. Working in small groups helps you to learn and also to keep pushing your own limits. Teamwork also promotes your creativity and communication skills - also important qualifications for your later work at the interface of two disciplines.

Practical relevance: Our faculty is excellently networked with the industry. In internships, excursions and project work, you can apply and deepen your knowledge and participate in challenging research projects. At the same time, this gives you the opportunity to establish contacts in the professional world at an early stage.

Support: As a student at our department, you are part of a lively community on the Steinfurt campus. We attach great importance to providing you with the best possible support during your studies. Our proven tutoring program supports you in your learning processes. In addition, our network of former students ensures that you are well informed about current trends.
