Applied science you can touch

Many exciting projects from the faculties await you in the foyer of the J-Building. Students present the results of their work from teaching education and research projects and are available to answer questions.

Every year we show new exciting projects - look forward to seeing the results from this year. The following topics, among others, have already been on display:

  • Edge Finder: positioning aid for a small milling machine developed by a group of students (project stand)
  • Smart waste garbage can: project of a self-driving AI "waste advisor" that emerged from the "Kreate Future" ideas competition
  • Servohydraulics: simulation and comparison of servo-hydraulic drive systems using the example of hydraulic presses
  • Knetex: Development of a textile-integrated sensor system for feedback-supported rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament surgery
  • 3D printing of a chemical reactor: synthesis of the fragrance citral in an automated reactor made of 3D-printed components
  • Textiles meets biotech: how biotechnologically produced enzymes are used in the textile industry and in plastic degradation
  • Color models of paints: prediction of paste mixtures with computer models for colored coatings

 

Live and in color: Get to know the faculties...

During the Engineering Days, we regularly offer guided tours of the faculties in small groups. Gain an insight into the premises of the institutes, laboratories and classrooms. Staff and students from the university will be on hand to answer your questions and provide information.

The tour starts in the foyer of the J-building. The meeting point is signposted.

HSNR Racing
HSNR Racing Team
Formula Student

As part of the Formula Student racing series, international universities compete against each other with self-built cars on professional race tracks. Since 2006, a race has also been held at the legendary Hockenheimring in Germany. Students design, build and market their vehicles themselves.

You can also follow the official rollout of the latest racing car live on YouTube. The excitement for the new season is at its peak.

At the Engineering Days, you will have the opportunity to see the new racing car in action.

MakerSpace Collage
MakerSpace
Theory? Practice!

Our MakerSpace is the best place to demonstrate that The Hochschule Niederrhein stands for applied science and that teaching education is not an end in itself. Students can test their knowledge from lectures here with professional support and put it directly into practical application. You can see the results in the project presentations.
