Analyzing, developing, calculating, designing, constructing, and building machines and systems
The DH mechanical engineering program takes place both at the cooperative college and in a company. The theoretical part covers the fundamentals typically taught at universities and necessary for later professional activities, such as design engineering, mechanics, electrical engineering, automation, control, and manufacturing technology. The theoretical knowledge learned is applied and deepened in practice.

Analyzing, developing, calculating, designing, and programming machines and systems
Thanks in particular to the systematically structured in-company training at STOPA, future automation engineers have sufficient operational expertise. They have adequate business management knowledge and the necessary social and methodological skills.
Graduates with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering/Automation are generally employed in the areas of development, project planning, manufacturing, quality assurance, or sales. Thanks to the practical nature of the dual study program, they can be deployed immediately in all of these departments.

Analyzing, controlling, developing, calculating, planning, and improving process flows
As a Bachelor of Engineering (DH) in Industrial Engineering, you will study both engineering sciences and the important fundamentals of economics and business administration.
Industrial engineers are also referred to as the link between technology and business, as they understand both the technical and economic components and can relate them to one another.

Analyzing, developing, automating, and programming warehouse management software
The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (IT) with a focus on engineering informatics is a dual study program with a theoretical phase at DHBW Karlsruhe and a practical phase at STOPA.
The theory covers the fundamentals typically taught at university and those required for later professional activities. The knowledge learned is then applied and deepened in practice.
For us, the degree program is the link between automation and warehouse management software. For this reason, the practical phase at STOPA is not monotonous, but offers new and varied challenges time and again.

What our students say
Andreas Bauer
“I first completed an apprenticeship as a mechatronics engineer at STOPA and then decided to pursue a dual study program. It’s a journey of personal and professional development. Here at STOPA, they recognize that I’m not just an employee, but also a unique person with individual goals and dreams.”
Matthias Oberle
“The decision to pursue a dual study program was the right one. Here at STOPA, my skills are nurtured, my team supports me wherever they can, and the program gives me the technical knowledge I need to apply what I’ve learned directly.”
Bianka Frädrich
„Meine Ausbildung bei Stopa war der Beginn einer aufregenden Reise. Die erlernten Fähigkeiten und das unterstützende Team haben mir neue Horizonte eröffnet. Nach meiner Ausbildung habe ich ein berufsbegleitendes Fernstudium im Bereich Human Resources absolviert, das mir weitere berufliche Perspektiven eröffnet hat. Mit Motivation und Disziplin kann man viel erreichen – die Grundlagen, die ich bei Stopa erlernt habe, sind bis heute der Schlüssel zu meinem beruflichen Erfolg.“
