The future is yours - study here!

STEM subjects are subjects in the fields of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. There is a desperate need for skilled workers in the entire STEM sector. Here in Zittau, at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, we provide these specialists with basic training.  

There are three trending topics that everyone in the STEM sector is currently working on: artificial intelligence, renewable energies and Industry 4.0. We at the HSZG are also researching these important topics. We are trying to solve problems with AI without human help. We are testing the practicality of new drive concepts with our own electric car. Together with the Fraunhofer IWU , we are developing plastics of the future in Zittau. 

Under the motto "Do your problem-solving studies, the future is yours - study here!", there will be three videos over the next few weeks that take a closer look at the topics of artificial intelligence, renewable energies and Industry 4.0. Three HSZG professors will explain briefly and concisely what these three topics are and how research is being carried out in Zittau. And one thing is clear: they need bright minds who want to shape the future. 

In our first video, Alexander Kratzsch explains artificial intelligence and explains how "AI" works and what it is used for. He is Professor of Measurement Technology and Process Automation at the HSZG. Here he teaches and conducts research at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Jens Meinert takes you into his world of renewable energies. He is Professor of Energy Systems Engineering at the HSZG. In the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, he focuses on how renewable energies can be used in an environmentally friendly and efficient way. The Energy Technology course offers the opportunity to obtain a Bachelor's or Master's degree - or a diploma. 

Sebastian Scholz is a professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology in Zittau. In the video, he explains how communication between sensors, workpieces and machines can prevent production errors in a smart factory - ideally without any human intervention or interruption to production.

The first two videos have already been published on our landing page for prospective students and on  Youtube . From next week, all three videos will be available in full length on both platforms.
