Girls' Day 2023
Girls' Day in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at FH Aachen
If you would like to take part, you can apply on the official Girls' Day page under the keyword "FH Aachen".
If you have any questions about Girls' Day in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, please contact Mr Sander (FB8, phone +49.241.6009 52411).
As part of Girls' Day 2023, our faculties are offering a total of 44 places across six projects:
- Solitaire - From the steel plate to the finished game (Udo Schnell, Sergej Schellenberg) - Workshop
In the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics you will have the chance to make the famous Solitaire plug-in game yourself. Embedded in a great programme, you will learn everything about the machines needed to make such a game and process the material for your game yourself in the workshop. - Goethelab. - 3D printed key rings - from idea to prototype Room 04303 (L. Hedwig)
In this workshop, you will learn how to use 3D modelling software and create your own digital 3D object. We will then show you how the 3D printing process works and how you can print the object you have created using a 3D printer. - Microtechnology - I-Phone as a spirit level - How does it work? -(Gabi Quester) Room 03210
In this workshop we will examine a multi-axis acceleration sensor. (This is identical in construction to sensors that are built into the I-Phone, for example.) We measure the sensor signals for various movements with measuring devices and connect the sensor to a computer. We get to know the graphical programming language LabVIEW and write small programmes ourselves. We look at the sensor under the microscope. We also carry out a mini-crash test with a single-axis acceleration sensor and view the sensor signals on the computer after the crash. - The robot dog "Bittle" (Y. Mostafa) - Building AMA (IAAM-Rondell)
In this project, small robot dogs are programmed collaboratively by the participants. Once the dogs have been brought to life, they are steered through a small obstacle course. Who has the fastest robot dog? - CAD/CAM - From the idea to the finished product! (R. Sander) - Room 02408
You create a workpiece on the computer, which is then manufactured with the help of a machine tool. In this course, you will be able to get hands-on and learn about the diverse tasks of engineers in mechanical engineering and mechatronics. - Tribology is everywhere! (M. Gaton) - Room U1220
Tribology deals with the friction, lubrication and wear of objects. Wherever two different forces meet and something moves or wears out as a result, tribology becomes visible. Using various devices and everyday examples, we see what causes friction and what wear and tear it can cause and how we can use a few tricks to increase or reduce it.
It would be wrong to always view friction in a negative light. Friction can be useful in our everyday lives: when making a fire, even when writing...
