Full house at the THI. With a short speech, Professor Schober, President of the THI, gave a warm welcome to about 2000 new students. We at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering also welcome our approximately 400 new freshmen and all those who are already studying with us and are back at the university. We are looking forward to the start in presence and to an exciting winter semester. New at our faculty starting this winter are the Bachelor's program in Biomechanics and the Master's program in Hydrogen Technology and Economics. A good start to all of you!
