Research Unit in Engineering Science (RUES)

The Research Unit in Engineering is an interdisciplinary group active in the classical domains of civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. The main focus of research is on

• The development of technological solutions
• The sustainable and economical use of all kind of resources
• The establishment of a centre of expertise for the technological requirements of Luxembourg’s industrial and public actors

The main research activities are cooperative efforts of specialists in the classical engineering domains organized in four main clusters

• Construction & Design
• Energy & Environment
• Automation & Mechatronics
• Geophysics

Special emphasis is given to numerical simulation to reduce the required experimental effort, but the validation of the models will remain an essential asset. All the treated projects have as well an applied and a fundamental character in engineering research. All research activities are integrated into a network of national, regional and international public and industrial research institutions.

The Research Unit in Engineering includes 20 permanent academic members and several PhD students. The members participate in the curricula of the Bachelor professionnel with specialization in

• Electro-technics
• Electrical energy systems, Telecommunication
• Energy & Environment
• Civil Engineering and Construction
• Civil Engineering in Town- and Land use planning
• Mechatronics
• Mechanic

Furthermore a Bachelor académique program completes the educational offer. Master courses are currently elaborated.
