“A combination of mechanical engineering incorporated with fun and culture” (Haseena from South Africa)We want to introduce participants to the educational and cultural aspects of engineering studies at the Carl Benz School of Engineering. For every Summer Course we focus on specific engineering topics and organize workshops/visits to institutes of the KIT and engineering companies. In addition to the academic program, we offer interesting and entertaining leisure activities.
The summer course will take place from 25 June to 02 July 2010 in Karlsruhe/Germany.
Our program is especially designed for technically-inclined high school student in your last two years of secondary education.
This year, the emphasis of the summer course is on railway systems. There are not only lectures and practical workshops lead by various specialists from the Department of Railway Systems at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), but also the chance to take part in challenging “hands-on” metalworking. In the Institute of Information Management in Engineering, you can experience “virtual machine construction” and in the Research Center here in Karlsruhe, you will have the opportunity to learn more about “Robots in the Production Process”. A visit to the world famous Daimler AG will complete our academic agenda.
We kick off the leisure activities of our program with a “Welcome Party” in the courtyard of the International Department. This event gives you the unique opportunity to experience international student life at the Carl Benz School of Engineering. A guided tour through Karlsruhe and the visit to the Palace Gardens will be organized to familiarize you with the city and the German culture. We have organized two other enjoyable excursions near Karlsruhe: the visit to the Europapark in Rust and a local go-kart course in Landau.
The costs for the course will amount to 650Euros, excluding travel and accommodation expenses.
