Studying electrical engineering: That's what it's really like Kai is in his 3rd master's semester studying electrical engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) - one of the universities of excellence in Germany. In addition to his studies at KIT, he has been working as a research assistant for a year on a new antenna for mobile communications. The millimeter wave frequency range is to be commercially exploited for 6G, for example for new applications such as "Joint Communication and Sensing", in which the base stations not only transmit data, but can also capture an image of the environment at the same time. This requires broadband and compact antennas from which large antenna arrays can be built. The antenna designed by Kai is intended to meet these requirements in terms of frequency range, bandwidth and dimensions. Kai enjoys working on developing hardware, even if he tinkers a lot and needs a few attempts before he reaches his goal. But that's what makes electrical engineers: being problem solvers. With the necessary patience and a lot of ingenuity. If you're going to be an engineer, then you'll be an electrical engineer At school, Kai always enjoyed math and physics. After graduating from high school, it was clear to him that he wanted to study engineering. Maybe mechanical engineering, maybe mechatronics, or maybe computer science? Then electrical engineering was the obvious choice for him: a mixture of math and physics, which also includes hardware development. And: a lot of computer science. #ElectricalEngineering #Study #alphaUni You can find out more about the course content, admission requirements, and career opportunities here: https://ardalpha.de/s/68kLd3y Author: Susanne Bauer-Schramm, Anette Orth Camera and editing: Adrian Vogler CvD: Friederike Kühn Channel management: Marinus Zängerl Editor: Corinna Benning Are you looking for your dream course or your dream job? alpha Uni helps you find both!
