In recent weeks, the Faculty has developed an e-mobility trail. The aim of the trail is to give prospective students the opportunity to find out for themselves what skills they will have if they study at the Faculty.
The first students from the International Preparatory College have now set off on the trail. Prof. Dr. Haim - the Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science' emphasized the very good career prospects in his welcoming speech (Fig. 1): " The path is strenuous, but it's worth it..."

The future students then took the opportunity to
test the recently opened e-mobility trail with great interest, giving them a very individual impression of the faculty 's modern infrastructure.
The stations on the trail presented the young people with very different challenges. At soldering workstations, KIA students from the faculty helped to build electronic circuits themselves and make them work (Fig. 2).

At other stations, it was possible to find out how the park distance control of modern motor vehicles works, how hot the filament of a halogen light bulb gets, what is meant by a software-defined radio, how robots learn to see, how traffic lights are programmed or how an entire industrial plant can be controlled with a smartphone. Electromobility could also be experienced from the practical side during a test drive.
The e-mobility trail will be further expanded before the university information day on 13 June 2015 in order to meet the expected interest. Flights with drones will also be possible there, for example, and prospective students themselves will set the course for the future in the training signal box in Zittau-Süd...
