Digital Engineering is a multidisciplinary approach to the design and implementation of digital solutions, especially complex systems. The Hasso Plattner Institute's research groups therefore focus their research and teaching on many diverse topics in the field of digital engineering. In this way, we want to contribute to ensure that the digital transformation in business, administration and society is successful, sustainable, and focuses on people as users.
