On April 13, 2018, a colloquium for electrical engineering graduates will take place at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has sent out over 700 invitations to its electrical engineering graduates. Approximately 150 participants are expected this coming Friday.
The highly challenging program is organized almost exclusively by the graduates themselves. Many of them now hold positions of responsibility in the field of energy economics. For example, Dr.-Ing. Lutz Pscherer (class E76) from 50Hertz Transmission will speak on the topic “50Hertz Transmission—A Transmission System Operator in Transition.” Dipl.-Ing. Detlef Timmermann (class E81) from CONSULECTRA will discuss the effects of the energy transition on the operational management of electrical grids. Dipl.-Ing. Sebastian Ebert (class E00) from NKT HVC GmbH will speak on the topic “Extruded VPE DC Cable Technology and Experience Up to 525/640 kV—An Important Building Block for the German Energy Transition.” Dr.-Ing. Christiane Bär (class E05) from Pfisterer Sefag AG will present on “Composite Insulators as a Means of Compactifying HV Overhead Lines,” and Dr.-Ing. Frank Otto (class E77) from Drewag Netz will shed light on the new responsibilities of a distribution system operator.
The event will conclude with a presentation by Prof. Dr. Jörg Lässig, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, on “IT Security in Electrical Grids,” an issue that fundamentally affects all areas.
Participants will also have the opportunity to tour the newly renovated Building Z I and the new electrical engineering laboratories designed for hands-on student training. These include, among others, the laboratories for foundational training (Large Laboratory Hall), for protection and control technology/building automation, the Smart Grid Lab, the Deutsche Bahn control and safety technology lab, the EMC lab, the high voltage facility, and the cable diagnostics lab.
Graduates will thus have the opportunity to see for themselves the excellent study and work conditions at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences.
The alumni colloquium will conclude with an evening event at the Volkshaus Zittau.
