The faculty offers a wide range of innovative courses: Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Mechatronics and Information Technology, Optics and Photonics as well as Medical Technology.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrike Krewer from the Institute for Applied Materials - Electrochemical Technologies (IAM-ET) gave the keynote speech on "Electrochemical Technologies for the Energy and Raw Materials Transition" - her inaugural lecture, so to speak.

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Sebastian Kempf from the Institute of Micro- and Nanoelectronic Systems (IMS) gave interesting insights into the application of engineering and physical methods with his lecture "Superconducting quantum sensors - key technology for precision applications".

After an impressive period of 50 years, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Riedlinger was awarded the "Golden Doctorate" certificate in recognition of his outstanding scientific achievements in research and teaching.

The event was livened up musically by the duo Leon Winkler (saxophone) and Daniel Salzmann (electric piano). At the reception that followed, there was ample opportunity for discussions and networking in the ITIV foyer to round off the afternoon.
