Studying process engineering? Totally hot. Schools at university continues…

After some mechanical basics on monday, we students got some insights into the institute of thermal, environmental and resources process engineering (ITUN).

Following the slogan “there is a solution for everything”, we saw some graphic examples from the special field of extraction processes. Afterwards, we were allowed to carry out some experiments by ourselves.

Schools at university 2018 – Let´s get started!

Here we are! Last Monday, schools at university at TU Freiberg started with a week full of technology. 8 students got in touch with some of the challenges a process engineer has to deal with, today and in the future.

For this purpose, the four institutes of process engineering of the TU Freiberg teamed up to present the best in their fields. Continue reading “Schools at university 2018 – Let´s get started!”

Electrical and mechanical apprentices for project day at IEC

Using the last day of the year of training 2017/18, the teachers of the apprentices of electricians and mechanics from the BSZ Julius Weisbach surprised their students with a day at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. The trip led to the institute of process engineering and chemical engineering (IEC).

Finally some living technology and real perspectives for future work environments.

CampusTag 2018 (open house)

On 09.06.2018 the annual open house at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg took place. All interested future students had the opportunity to inform themselves about options for studying in Freiberg. After all, you have the choice between 65 different degree courses and many advantages that the small town offers with its rather large, traditional university.

The IEC was also on site. We were particularly pleased that the pupils from the grammar school in Lovosicé (Czech Republic) accepted our call and, through our continuing education project, embarked on the open exchange on questions and challenges of the future of the energy sector.

So 27 students visited us at the CampusTag, then the special exhibition of the city and mining museum of “Silberrausch und Berggeschrey” with impressions of the medieval mining in Saxony and Bohemia, to finally drive into the pit at the Reiche Zeche mine.

The Free Press also found the time to talk to them briefly and so they also found their way into this journal. (Here is the German article.)
