Projects

  • One of the biggest projects with students participation is the "joanneum racing team". construct Every year, build and commercialize, students in the "Vehicle Technology", "Industrial Design", "Information Design", "Electronics & Technology Management", "Production Technology and Organisation", "Journalism & Public Relations" and "physiotherapy" a whole car. The infrastructure as workshop and test facilities there are in the FH. Anchored is the project in the course "automotive engineering" and is supported by sponsors. By car then take them to the "Formula Student" part and other Formula SAE competitions. The greatest successes are the overall win at the 2006 Formula SAE Italy and the 3rd overall rankings 2007 in Hockenheim and at the Formula Student UK 2008 at Silverstone.

  • The participants of the courses "Luftfahrt / Aviation", "Information Design", "Industrial Design" and "Vehicle Technology" are also involved in projects in the "Green Mobility". In practical projects they contribute new ideas and developments. They are supported by companies in the automotive industry.

The development of a drone (UAVS) for civilian operations fall within the scope Green Mobility.

Initiatives

  • Each year the FH JOANNEUM at the KinderUni part Graz, under which children can participate in various workshops and lectures.
