Successful students: Award funding prizes for innovative theses!
The coveted sponsorship award for outstanding achievements in mechanical engineering was awarded during a ceremony on June 6, 2025. The prize went, among others, to Haoze Wang, who wrote his master's thesis in the field of product and system development at the Qingdao University of Science and Technology (QUST) was awarded in China. His topic covered important design principles and was recognized by university peers who attended the awards ceremony.
In addition to Wang, Jiekai Wang was also recognized for his award-winning thesis. He worked at the TU Ilmenau on the miniaturization of a confocal microscope. This shows the close connection between innovative research and education at QUST, which was founded in Qingdao in 1950 and has developed from a specialized college to a comprehensive multidisciplinary university.
