Dortmund University Days 2025
As part of the Dortmund University Days on January 15 and 16, 2025, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is offering a wide range of study and career information for interested school pupils under the motto "Experience fascinating research topics up close". A great opportunity to get a taste of university life, the department's degree programs and the everyday working life of an engineer.
Experience fascinating research topics up close
with our bookable events.
For all these events, the common meeting point at the booked time is the Student Advisory Service stand in the foyer of the Physics building, Otto-Hahn-Str. 4, from where you will be guided to the relevant laboratories. The map shows the two-minute walk from the Mensa building to the Physics building (OH4 Physics), which you then enter directly via the entrance in the foyer.
Workshop / Laboratory
High voltage with lightning and sparks
You will experience the possible effects of high voltages and currents in the form of discharge phenomena in high-voltage technology up close in an experimental demonstration.
There will be bangs and flashes! So don't be so jumpy ;-)
Production of a microchip
You will be guided through the process steps required to manufacture modern microchips in the clean room laboratory and experience at first hand what microstructure technology has in common with photography, baking or plaster casts, and in the end you will be one chip richer!
Ultra-robust 6G rescue robotics with spotlight
Say hello to Boston robot dog Spot in our colors and learn how it can provide high reliability for radio links for rescue robotics with a multi-link implementation to combine various technologies such as 5G, satellite and WLAN even in challenging outdoor environments in rescue and disaster scenarios.
3+4=2! Twisted math for encryption technology
Without realizing it, we rely on this twisted math when using our cell phones and computers. Let's uncover these hidden processes and understand why 3+4=2 is sometimes right after all! And we'll see how, for example, our cell phones use it to protect wireless transmission to the Internet.
A robot scratches the curve
Experience the speed of an AI-controlled RC vehicle on a race track and try to achieve similarly good lap times with remote control of an identical RC vehicle. Program a pre-built Lego robot with the necessary intelligence for autonomous navigation! Will your robot achieve the fastest lap?
Registration (in planning)
