The Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) is partly located at the
Munich campus but expected to move entirely to Garching.
History The first lectures in the field of
electricity at the
Polytechnische Schule München were given as early as 1876 by the physicist
Wilhelm von Bezold. Over the years, as the field of
electrical engineering became increasingly important, a separate department for electrical engineering emerged within the
mechanical engineering department. In 1967, the department was renamed the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and six electrical engineering departments were permanently established. In April 1974, the formal establishment of the new TUM Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering took place. While still located in the
Munich campus, a new building is currently in construction on the
Garching campus and the department is expected to move by 2025.
