Kvasir

Kvasir is the committee of Thor that organises events for Automotive and Electrical Engineering students in collaboration with companies. These events include excursions, workshops, lunch and pub lectures. The workshops focus on skills like writing your CV and how to present yourself to a company, but may also be of a more technical nature. The excursions and lectures show the job opportunities for students after graduation as well as possible internships, graduation projects and part-time jobs. 

As a member of Kvasir, you are tasked with the organisation of these events. You will make arrangements for the events as well as supervise the communication between Thor and the companies in question. Close contact with companies and the organisation of the events will lead to the development of skills such as planning, organising, communicating and presenting yourself.

Shell Pernis Excursion

Explore the Heart of Dutch Industry at Shell Pernis

Discover one of Europe’s most impressive industrial sites up close. Shell Pernis spans the area of 800 football fields while containing more than 160,000 km of piping (enough to circle the Earth four times). It is the largest refinery in Europe where everyday, we process over 6 million litres of crude oil, supplying the energy the world relies on today while actively shaping the energy systems of tomorrow.
This visit offers a unique opportunity to experience the scale, complexity, and innovation behind modern refining and engineering. A full-day program is arranged on-site, including bus transportation to and from Eindhoven.

Programme:

  • Meet at 7:45 at the bus parking spot.
  • Welcome by Shell Pernis senior leadership
  • Technical deep-dive: refining and engineering
  • “A Week in the Life” of Shell graduates
  • Lunch and networking session
  • Guided bus tour over site, with control room visit
  • Energy Transition Game
  • Closing drinks

 Note: To enter the shell location, you must take valid ID!

Dream Chip Technologies Lunch Lecture

DreamChip Technologies is a Germany-based semiconductor engineering company that specializes in end-to-end design and development of custom silicon solutions. They are one of Europe’s largest independent engineering turn-key service providers, with deep expertise in ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), SoCs (System-on-Chips), FPGAs and embedded software for complex systems across automotive, industrial, consumer, and professional markets. Their work spans the full chip development cycle, from initial specification and architecture through design, verification, tape-out, embedded software, and post-silicon bring-up.  

A core focus for DreamChip is high-performance image signal processing and vision-centric SoC technologies, including scalable modular ISPs and custom vision/AI accelerators optimized for applications such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). They also offer products like miniature HDR camera systems and tailored embedded solutions alongside pure design services. Since late 2024 they operate as part of the Tessolve group, expanding their global reach and reinforcing their capabilities in advanced silicon design for AI, automotive, and data-intensive applications. 


Lunch and drinks will be provided during the lecture.
