The department has a broad research portfolio, which to a large extent is based on the innovation needs of companies. We have a close collaboration with both the public and private sectors which ensures that the scientific and technological advances we create in our research environments are anchored in the business community to the benefit of society at large.
At the department, we educate BEng, BSc and MSc graduates in engineering for Danish society.
The department was established on 1 January 2021 at Faculty of Technical Sciences at Aarhus University simultaneously with three other engineering departments; Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering and Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering.
