CampusTour
Wir helfen Studierenden seit 12 Jahren beim Berufseinstieg!
Mit unserer CampusTour beraten wir von C2N seit über 12 Jahren Studierende kostenlos zu potenziellen Arbeitgebern und dem Einstieg ins Berufsleben. Egal ob Praktika, Werkstudentenstellen, Traineeprogramme oder Direkteinstiege für viele verschiedene Studiengänge.
Die anhaltende Coronapandemie erschwert aktuell unsere Bemühungen, den Kontakt mit Studierenden zu halten. Im Wintersemester 2020 können wir leider nicht wie gewohnt an den Universitäten und Hochschulen direkt vor Ort sein.
Nature Article: AI finds almost two billion trees in the desert
Fabian Gieseke works with an international team on tree capturing in Sahara and Sahel
A team of researchers, including Fabian Gieseke from the Department for Information Systems at the WWU Münster, was able to identify more than 1.8 billion trees and bushes in the Western Sahara and Sahel region. The partly very dry area covers about 1.3 million square kilometers. The international team, led by Martin Brandt from the University of Copenhagen, evaluated more than 11,000 satellite images and the results appeared in Nature on October 14, 2020.
Cobol-Kurs, 28.09. - 02.10.2020
Demnächst wird vom 28.09.2020 bis 02.10.2020, jeweils 9-17 Uhr, ein Cobol-Kurs angeboten. Der Kurs findet wahlweise im Leo 18 oder online statt, was im Vorfeld mit allen interessierten abgestimmt wird.
Interessent*innen melden sich bitte so bald wie möglich bei
anja.ebbigmann@wi.uni-muenster.de
oder schreiben sich direkt in den Learnweb-Kurs ein:
http://go.wwu.de/e0a2v
Die Plätze sind begrenzt und werden an diejenigen vergeben, die sich zuerst anmelden. Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Am Ende wird eine Teilnahmebescheinigung ausgestellt. Der Kurs wird von zwei ausgewiesenen Cobol-Experten gehalten.
Cobol ist eine der ersten Programmiersprachen, die aber in der Finanzindustrie immer noch weit verbreitet ist. In der Praxis gehen die Cobol-Programmierer in den kommenden Jahren in den Ruhestand, wodurch auf dem Arbeitsmarkt eine starke Nachfrage nach Berufseinsteiger*innen mit Cobol-Kenntnissen besteht (die auch zu überdurchschnittlichen Gehältern führt). Cobol weist eine starke Ähnlichkeit zu der SAP-Programmiersprache ABAP auf.
Der Kurs eignet sich auch für Teilnehmer*innen, die ihre Programmiererfahrungen erweitern möchten. Aufgrund der intensiven Betreuung in Kleingruppen-Atmosphäre sind hier Fortschritte besonders leicht möglich.

Cityvolt – Identification of Locations for Mobile Fast Chargers of Uniper
A rapid improvement of the existing charging infrastructure is necessary for the shift towards electromobility. Unfortunately, in particular, fast-charging stations have not been widely used in Germany until now. The energy infrastructure is not designed to provide the required amount of electricity in many places. This is where "E-Mobility Solutions by Uniper" comes into play: The system is based on mobile fast chargers that can be set up flexibly, also in inner-city areas if required.

Intelligent Maintenance for Trailers
Successful project completion with Schmitz Cargobull Telematics
Unexpected trailer breakdowns are costly and delay the journey for trailer manufacturers and their customers. To improve maintenance scheduling and foresee future maintenance needs, a group of seven students collaborated with the market-leading trailer manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull as part of the master project seminar “Intelligent Maintenance Solutions”. The students investigated sensor data to determine the health of the trailer and predict future breakdowns.
