Embedded Systems: How practice-oriented teaching can be designed cross-institutionally

How can you design teaching in a practice-oriented fashion? This question was addressed in a pilot project by both the TU Bergakademie Freiberg and the NORDAKADEMIE as part of the CrossLab project. Technical computer science students from the course “Embedded Systems”, which is taught by Prof. Dr. habil. Jan Haase,

Mobile Robots: A Shared Course Between TU Freiberg and NORDAKADEMIE

According to Statista Market Insights [1] the turnover on robotics has almost doubled between 2016 and 2024. The largest factor is the area of service robotics, which shows the increased usage of robots in many different areas like farming, logistics, or medicine. This is facilitated by different sizes and forms

Can you feel the ALU? - Students compare the simulated and the real world in digital electronics

How does simulation differ from reality? Students at the NORDAKADEMIE were able to experience this by building an ALU both in a software simulation and from real electrical components.
