On 14 January this year, the first "Industry Experience Day" of the companies
GEA Brewery Systems, Dow Deutschland and Shell Deutschland Oil was held at the
Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). This event aims to actively support
talented process engineering students. It was initiated by Professor Dr.
Andreas Liese, Head of the Institute for Technical Biocatalysis, who also acted
as moderator on this day.
Awards for outstanding performance
The event started with the presentation of awards to the students for
their outstanding performance in the field of process
engineering. The award winners started their studies in 2006 and all
of them had the year's best intermediate diploma in their course of studies.
The GEA Brewery Systems award was given to Jan-Georg Rosenboom
from Horneburg, student of Biotechnology - Process Engineering. The award was
presented by Kristina Böe, Technical Director of GEA Brewery
Systems, and is worth 1000 Euros. Furthermore, Jörg Luedtke (Process
Engineering) from Hamburg and Eike Higgen (Energy and Environmental Technology)
from the East Frisian city of Esens also received a € 1000 award.
Presentation of GEA Brewery Systems
After the award ceremony,
the students had the chance to learn more about the organizing companies. The
main topics were possible job opportunities for process engineering graduates
at GEA Brewery Systems, Dow Deutschland or Shell Deutschland Oil. In three
short speeches and a subsequent panel discussion, TUHH graduates talked about
their experience when they started their professional career and about their
process engineering jobs.
GEA Brewery Systems to participate again next
year
For the first time, GEA Brewery Systems was one of the organizing
companies of the Industry Experience Day at TUHH. The close contact with the
students and the idea of supporting talented students at the right place spoke
for themselves, so that GEA Brewery Systems will certainly participate again
next year.
