Practice meets Theory: Focus on Innovative Sensor Technology

By inviting Dr. Gerhard Lammel, Director of System Architecture at Bosch Sensortec, the university's Faculty of Engineering is underlining its strong practical focus and the aim of enabling students to come into contact with industrial applications. As part of the guest lecture Smart Sensors for Sustainable Systems, Dr. Lammel presented innovative applications for smart MEMS sensors that can sustainably improve our daily lives. Examples such as emergency localization in buildings or the detection of forest fires clearly demonstrated how technological developments can solve real challenges. He also provided practical insights into the development process by illustrating how unwanted effects in sensors can be detected, understood and ultimately optimized.

This inspiring lecture not only gave the students of the sensor technology courses and the sensor internship the opportunity to expand their knowledge beyond the lecture content, but also to gain practical experience in a hands-on session with demonstrators. Dr. Lammel also made a significant contribution to practical training at the faculty by providing 145 Nicla Sense ME Platform Systems for the practical sensor course. This type of exchange between science and industry is essential not only to impart theoretical knowledge to students, but also to optimally prepare them for their future tasks in industry.
