Students from Tongji University in Shangai at the Summer School at the HSZG.
For the first time, seventeen students from the Chinese-German University of Applied Sciences (CDHAW) at Tongji University Shanghai attended a summer school at the HSZG. It has now become a tradition for CDHAW students to hold a summer school in Germany during the semester break. What was new this year was that the two-week trip also included a stop at the HSZG in Zittau after the universities in Mannheim, Göttingen, Prague, Regensburg and Munich. The group was accompanied by the Director of the CDHAW, Prof. Feng Xiao and Ms. Ma Yiming from the International Office in Shanghai. The group followed an invitation from Prof. Frank Worlitz, Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, who was also responsible for the organization and supervision together with Prof. Wolfgang Kästner.
In addition to selected experiments in the modern laboratories of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the Summer School program also included a tour of the Zittau power plant laboratory and the Zittau Süd signal box, which is also used for teaching in the faculty. Of course, a trip to the nearby Zittau Mountains was a must on such an occasion. We took the small train to Oybin. In addition to the beautiful nature, the ascent at 35°C will certainly be remembered.
The HSZG is a member of the German University Consortium for International Cooperation (DHIK). Within this framework, up to ten mechatronics students have been coming to the university every year since 2007. This year, an additional thirteen students from Mexico are expected. German students are also increasingly taking advantage of the opportunity to spend a semester abroad in China or Mexico.
