PEP 2022
Interested students can work on the following project:
Construction and testing of a multi-wire pulse
ionization chamber (VIIK) for measuring low radon
concentrations.
Elite programme for students with language skills at the Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Saint-Etienne (ENISE)

-
Who can apply?
Each year, three students of the Department of
Mechanical Engineering at both Bachelor's and Master's
level are selected to study abroad at ENISE.
-
What are the requirements?
The
department is responsible for the selection of
students. A letter of motivation and curriculum vitae
in English are required for the application, as well as
a certificate of study and a current overview of
academic achievements.
-
When is the application deadline?
Students apply for studies abroad in the winter
semester for the following winter semester and/or
summer semester. Currently, the application deadline
for stays abroad in the academic year 2022/23 is 15
December 2021. In April 2022, any remaining seats for
the summer semester 2023 will be advertised on the
webpage.
-
What qualifications do I acquire?
Students can have the courses they attend at ENISE
credited to their degree programme in Siegen. In
addition, students gain an insight into other cultures,
perhaps learn a new language and broaden their
horizons.
-
How long do I stay abroad?
Students can go abroad for a semester or an academic
year. The winter semester at ENISE lasts from September
to January, the summer semester from February to
June.
-
Which courses can I take?
As
is the case at the University of Siegen, the courses
offered vary from semester to semester and must be
researched independently by the students. ENISE offers
its own catalogue for English-language courses.

Awards
Olpe District Study Award
District Administrator Theo Melcher recently honored
three successful graduates of the University of Siegen with
the Olpe District Study Award. The prize for 2020 is shared
by Dr. Carola Bilgen from Kirchhundem and Laura Birlenbach
from Wenden, who each received a cash award of 1,000 euros
for their outstanding theses. Dr. Felicitas Pielsticker
from Siegen had to wait a long time for her prize, as last
year's award ceremony was cancelled due to the Corona
pandemic.
Dr. Carola Bilgen studied business mathematics and
received her doctorate from the Chair of Solid Mechanics.
In her dissertation, the Heinsberg native dealt with
numerical simulations of fracture mechanics problems using
phase field models. Such computer simulations can be used
to predict under what conditions and in what way cracks
form in materials and how they propagate. "The topic is
very ambitious and theoretically extremely challenging,"
Prof. Dr. Weinberg praised in her review. At the same time,
she says, the research on this is of great practical value
to companies, for example in product development and the
virtual design of machine components.
The study prize of the Olpe district, endowed with 2,000
euros, is awarded annually for outstanding,
practice-oriented scientific theses at the University of
Siegen. The award winners are proposed by the Commission
for Research and Young Academics of the University of
Siegen and selected by an independent jury.
Theses
Currently, numerous bachelor and master theses are
available:
