On Tuesday, June 20, at the HAN (Ruitenberglaan 29 Arnhem) the semester 6 projects (academic year 2022-2023) of students of the School of HAN Engineering and Automotive have been presented in the form of the interactive symposium Powerhouse of Innovation. With this year’s overarching theme: ‘Extreme Engineering’.

The day was divided into 4 different sessions:

1. Presentations
   During this session, project groups present their final products to senior engineers. Please note that this session will be partially graded.
2. Inspiration
   We have had interesting discussions and interactions with guest speakers.
3. Demonstration
   All project groups had the opportunity to showcase their projects to family, friends, and other visitors. This session was open to family members and friends.
4. Celebrations
   Only students from semester 6 received these complimentary drinks and food. As this event was specifically for students, parents would not be eligible for free food and drinks.

Why Powerhouse of Innovation?

The project presentations at Powerhouse of Innovation mainly show how HAN students Automotive Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Embedded Systems Engineering, Industrial Design Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Management and Mechanical Engineering work together, what applications they have researched and what possible solutions they recommend to their clients from the field.

How were the projects assessed?

The way in which the projects were assessed with a grade differed per project. Students have already been told in January how the assessment will be done.
