Start of the orientation semester 2023

Just in time for the start of lectures of the summer semester, we welcomed your new fellow students for the orientation semester yesterday.

We wish you a good start and much joy and success in the first semester!

Orientation semester

The new orientation semester will start in the summer semester of 2023 and is aimed at all those who are enthusiastic about engineering or technical subjects. Until March 15, interested students can register for one of a total of eight Bachelor's degree programmes from the four faculties of Chemistry, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Mechanical and Process Engineering, and Industrial Engineering.

The orientation semester is designed to help students find out whether they feel comfortable in their chosen degree programme. Particularly for those who have first taken a different path after leaving school and have spent a year working and traveling abroad or doing a voluntary social year, the start in the summer semester should be a welcome plus.

Freshman Contest

As part of the Engineering Day on Friday, 13.01.2023, the first semester contest of the FB03 was held. Students of the first semester in the study programmes Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Mechatronics built a driving robot in only 12 weeks, which drives a given route as accurately as possible and in a short time and at the end of which it transports a ping-pong ball through an archway.

On the afternoon of the contest, the different vehicles competed against each other. The winners could look forward to prizes. There was also a distinction for the vehicles with the best look.
