Thinking about going abroad for my studies in my third semester, I really haven’t had a plan yet on where I wanted to go until I saw all the partner cooperation of SRH. Not questioning my decision for long, I knew immediately that I had to take the opportunity to go to Brazil – a land we all know about since the last soccer world cup. Having only caipirinhas, beaches and the sun in my mind, I found out that Brazil has to offer a lot more than the usual stereotypes.
As a Renewable Energies student at SRH, it is normal to wonder how the energy generation and distribution works in another country. When I was in Thailand, I saw that electric cables were still above ground unlike in Germany. However, being a total nerd, I had to find out more about where those cables came from and what the original energy source was. Thanks to NT from NCC (National Control Center – see my previous blog entry), I was able to understand the general idea of the system a little more.
In January 2015, our SRH logistics class went on a field visit to the logistics center of the German Red Cross (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, DRK) at Schönefeld Airport near Berlin. The logistics center was established in 2010 in this location because of the proximity to the airport.

So vieles kann innerhalb eines Jahres passieren. Das kann SRH Absolvent Artur Steffen nur bestätigen, denn seit seinem Abschluss 2014 hat sich sein Leben deutlich verändert. Im September 2014, kurz nach der Absolventenfeier, gründete Artur seine Firma MedLango. Diese vermittelt Dolmetscher für ausländische Patienten, die sich in Deutschland medizinisch versorgen lassen wollen.
Previously on SRHomies, I mentioned that some members from the Renewable Energies class of 2014 (IBARE 14) are planning on designing a Solar Street Lamp for rural areas. If you haven’t read the previous blog entry yet, do it. It is funny and insightful.
In June, it was time for the annual solar industry exhibition. Many of us from the Renewable Energies class of 2014 were really excited to go there and see the new technological progress it had to offer. We took the 8 hour long bus ride because our wallets did not allow flight tickets, but it did not stop us from going there anyway. Once in Munich, we were stunned by the large number of companies at the exhibition. There were over a thousand exhibitors waiting to show off their solar panels or battery storage systems. Heliatek, Tesla Motors, SMA, Pheasun, Qcells, REC, and the list continues. To cover a lot of ground, we decided to all split up, walk around, talk to different people, ask questions, gather information and meet up by bumping into each other.
Ich denke, dass ich mich nicht irre, wenn ich behaupte, dass ein interessantes, erfüllendes und ertragreiches Studium für einen Studenten von ganz enormer Bedeutung ist. Während für die Einen die Selbstverwirklichung der Schlüssel zum Erfolg ist, die Gelegenheit seine „ CAN DO“- Attribute unter Beweis zu stellen, erhoffen die Anderen sich bessere Aussichten in Punkto Gehalt und Aufstiegschancen für die Zukunft. Und es gibt welche, die studieren weil „dabei sein – ist alles“.
