Solar-institut Jülich (SiJ):
Summer School
renewable energy at the SiJ
Every summer, about 50 students
pitch their tents at Solar-Campus in
Jülich. The “Summer School Renewable
Energy” has been a tradition of the FH
Aachen Solar-Institut Jülich (SIJ) for
more than 20 years. In the space of two
weeks, highly motivated students from
Germany and abroad work hard with a
comprehensive overview of capability,
technology and application possibilities
for renewable energies and rational
energy applications. Through lectures,
practical training, excursions and a
project, participants acquire the most
current knowledge in the area of innovative
and sustainable energy systems.
The fundamental idea of this broadly
designed seminar is to combine diverse
disciplines and to inspire the students to
develop links between ideas and action.
Faculty of design:
sub-art: water as inspiration
The “sub-art” art and design group
was founded in 1996 by Professor Ivo
Dekovic in the Faculty of Design. The
workshop takes place every year on the
Dalmation Coast in Razani, Croatia, Prof.
Dekovic’s hometown. Students as well
as guest artists from Aachen, Düsseldorf
and Berlin create work, making use
of diving equipment and underwater
cameras. Film and photography, but also
installations and sculpture are created
on-site. The basic theme of the artwork
is the element of water, which is the
basis and inspiration for free and experi-
mental creativity. The feeling of weightlessness
in deep water, the experience
of going to the limit and the opening
of another dimension create the ideal
conditions for expansion of the awareness
and creative field of the artist.
“sub-art” connects art and design with
natural sciences and the latest technology.
The creative field includes drawing,
photography, video, drafting, performance,
sculpture and fashion design, interior
design up to the development of “wavefront”
trade fair booths. The results are
presented in museums, galleries and
film festivals and, directly in line with
the interdisciplinary demands of art,
for many years the boat trade show in
Düsseldorf. The students’ own booths are
arranged in unity with their contents.

Capro – Connecting competencies
“Capro” is the name of a close-to-production
sports car with individual design and
innovative engineering. That is the modest
goal of the twelve-member student team
of the FH Aachen. In March 2005, the
“Capro” student project came into being.
Originally, the idea behind it was to develop
a sports car called “Vision 2015” as a
study project with an inter-faculty student
team under the supervision of professors
and experienced business people. The
design was developed by students in the
Faculty of Design, and students from the
Faculty of Aerospace Technology concentrating
in Lightweight Construction and
Body Engineering were responsible for the
engineering.
