Varied insights into Engineering

Information day invites high school students to the Rüsselsheim Campus of Hochschule RheinMain - University of Applied Sciences and Arts

Despite adverse weather and traffic conditions, around 80 sixth form students made their way to Rüsselsheim on 19.02.2026 to visit the Faculty of Engineering. The information day takes place once a year at the Rüsselsheim Campus. The Faculty of Engineering then opens up various laboratories where pupils can gain an impression of different degree programs and presents study opportunities, research projects and student initiatives such as the two student racing teams Scuderia Mensa (dining hall) and RheinVolt and the OSCAR cinema team.

Diversity of laboratories inspires

Associate dean Prof. Dr. Peter Dannenmann welcomed the students and accompanying teachers and gave the starting signal for the lab tours.

This year, there were four different clusters, which were run through in two laboratory rounds:

  • NATURE ANALYST (environmental information systems), SPINTEC (5-axis milling machine)
  • MICROWASTE (laboratory for Environmental Technology processes), MED X RAY (microwave liver cancer cell therapy)
  • MATERIALS TEST (plastics laboratory) in the 1st round, MAKERSPACE (Makerspace LAP) in the 2nd round, INFOTEC (IT laboratories), HYDROGEN (hydrogen technology and energy storage)
  • FLIGHTSIM (flight simulators), MEDIATEC (automatic AI-supported generation of video reports, AI-based video enhancement)

The members of staff from the Faculty of Engineering had prepared exciting presentations and experiments to show the students the breadth of engineering. In the foyer, members of staff from the Student Advisory Service and the faculty provided information on study options and displayed exhibits from research projects and student research projects.

Great interest in Applied Engineering

Professor Maria Wiesmann presented the new Applied Engineering degree program, which will start in the winter semester 2026/27. She explained the special features of the degree program to the potential students in the room, which was filled to capacity. The new degree program is characterized by its interdisciplinarity: Students can thus change specialization more easily, projects can be carried out across disciplines, modules from other specializations can be added to build a broader knowledge base, and all specializations can be studied in a cooperative practice-integrated manner.

Student involvement in the faculty

The members of the two student racing teams Scuderia Mensa and RheinVolt with their cars in the foyer and the OSCAR-Students Cinema team, who created a real cinema feeling in the large lecture hall with a 4K cinema projector and 7.1 sound system at the end of the taster day, demonstrated that studies go beyond attending courses and completing examinations.
