There is only one final exam. No homework nor projects. In the end, you'd wish that there would have been Midterms and homeworks.

Personal recommendation
This university is a serious and a hard one. It has very good teachers, very good learning material in the field of electrical/electronical/mechanical engineering, very good test laboratories, with cutting-edge hardware and software and most of all, the learning environment is cool. It is very close to Stuttgart and the staff that welcomes you and treats you during your stay are very nice people.
