After the great success of the first edition of PartEE with ME we are back with a second edition! You are once again welcome to join us on the 21st of May in front of the most beautiful buildings on campus, Flux and Gemini, (Flux field) from 17:00 until 23:00. 

There will be free food and free drinks, so be sure to sign up down below. Aside from the free drinks and food, there will be live bands and DJs performing all night, making this party even more spectacular! 

In this excursion to KEMA's High Power Test facility and DNV's office in Arnhem, we are seeing the complementary side of engineering (DNV) and testing (KEMA).

DNV is a global company active in sectors such as energy, technology, innovation, and maritime. In these sectors, they do consultancy, certification, power failure investigation (PFI) and more. During this trip, we will meet a few of their experts on topics such as power cables, protection, automation and control, and wind energy. We may even get access to their PFI lab to see how they analyze broken systems.

KEMA Labs, part of CESI SpA, has been a cornerstone in electrical engineering testing and certification in the Netherlands for nearly a century. As one of Europe's largest testing facilities, they offer a wide range of testing services, including their high-power lab (2100 MVA), four high-voltage test bays (400 kVac), and 2.6 MV impulse generators, emphasizing their expertise and significance in the field.

We will meet in front of flux, and will be leaving Eindhoven at 08:15 for a full-day program in Arnhem, with an expected return by 18:00. Lunch will be provided.

This trip is open to both Waldur and Thor members, but if there are too many signups, Waldur members will get priority. The total number of sign-ups has not been confirmed by the companies yet.

Have you ever wondered if consulting is something for you? Join our lunch lecture with QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey to grab some free lunch, learn about a recent case on Hybrid Intelligence, and get a better sense of what it is like to work at QuantumBlack, McKinsey.

Few companies shape the future of electronics quite like ASML. As the world's leading supplier of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry, ASML's machines sit at the heart of every advanced chip produced today, from the processors in our laptops to the AI accelerators driving the next generation of computing. Their EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography technology is widely regarded as one of the most complex engineering achievements of our time, combining precision optics, plasma physics, mechatronics, control engineering, and software on a scale that is hard to overstate. 

On May 20th, ASML will visit Thor for a lunch lecture. It is a great opportunity to hear directly from the engineers behind the technology, get a sense of the kind of work that goes on inside one of the Netherlands' most influential high-tech companies, and see where electrical engineers fit into the picture. Expect a mix of technical insight, real-world engineering challenges, and an honest look at what day-to-day work at ASML actually involves. 

Whether you are exploring options for an internship, a graduation project, or a future career in high-tech, this is a chance to learn from one of the most important players in the field and to ask the questions you would not get answered in a brochure. 

Lunch and drinks will be provided during the lecture.

Do you have a love for retro electronics, flashy lights and arcades?  Then join Volundr on May 26th to visit the Pinball Club at Strijp-S! During this evening, you'll get 2 hours of unlimited play on 16 different machines from different pinball machines. But that's not all, because a mechanic will also be showing the internal mechanisms of one of these machines. For anyone who likes retro electronics and arcades this is a must-visit activity!
