5 Foreword Course Programme Dear Studets, Moder techologies have made iroads ito all areas of our lives. A life without techology is hard to imagie sice it has made our lives so much easier. Just imagie what it would be like if you had to do without it. Your life would t be the same o mobile phoe, o computer, o heatig, o washig machie ad, above all, o electricity ad o electric light! Uimagiable. 5 I thik we ca all agree that we do t wat to forgo today s techological achievemets. But simply to accept the fact that we eed techology was ever eough for me. I wated to uderstad why thigs work ad exactly what makes them tick. For istace, I wated to kow how may parts there are i the diesel egie of a car ad what exactly they do. Do t you feel the same way? Do t you also like questioig thigs? Ad have t you also sometimes take apart your computer or your parets old household appliaces to see what s goig o iside? Do t you wat to kow how satellites actually work or how you ca programme computer software? Why strawberries taste so good or how power statios are built? Questios like these made me decide to study at Graz Uiversity of Techology ad I ve ever regretted my decisio. Because the uiversity has give me the opportuity to get a glimpse behid the scees. I m learig how to uderstad thigs: from the basics to how to apply them it s all icluded i the courses. But it s ot oly about techology ad sciece aloe: busiess subjects ad soft skills have meawhile become a idispesable part of the studies. After all, what s the poit of havig a great product but ot beig able to preset it or sell it properly? I my opiio, it s the mix of all these thigs that makes the fields of study at Graz Uiversity of Techology so iterestig. Ad the excellet job prospects for graduates are ot to be uderestimated either. Because it oly makes sese to study somethig whe you ca later work i that field. I hope I ve bee able to arouse your curiosity a little so that you take the opportuity to fid out about all the courses o offer at Graz Uiversity of Techology. Who kows, perhaps we ll see each other soo o the campus. Barbara, studet
