Electrical Engineering
Martin Laursen 19 years 2nd semester
Right now we’re making a game of roulette. It’s very simple and consists of only eight diodes.
It also provides excellent insight into the advanced nature of electronics
and increases our respect for all the electronic devices we have.
Signe Pehrson 22 years 6th semester Trainee at GN ReSound
GN ReSound manufactures hearing aids and I’m working in the antenna and RF department.
Most modern hearing aids communicate with one another. This means they have built-in antennas.
I’m working in the department which designs and implements them in the hearing aid.
It’s extremely fascinating, because it’s satisfying to know you’re helping someone with hearing problems
by improving his or her quality of life.
Claus Kjærgaard Head of Studies Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering is definitely developing at lightning speed. Things are changing every day.
There is a constant influx of new components, research results and products.
An electrical engineer has to be creative and on top of things to be able to work in this field.
Morten Kirkelund DTU graduate (2006) Manager, Vibration Transducers Brüel and Kjær
I am in charge of developing accelerometers and also work with project management and HR management.
My employees develop accelerometers and vibration transducers.
These small units can measure vibrations and tremors in material structures.
The brilliant aspect of what we’re doing is that these devices can be used to improve our daily lives
because they reduce vibrations in a car or an aeroplane, which could prevent a plane from crashing.
This is very satisfying to work with.
The most interesting thing so far has definitely been electromagnetism.
While taking this course I realized that I wanted to study wireless technology.
It involves lots of math and physics. This was what captivated me.
I thought, “Yes! I want to keep working in these areas.”
It’s odd, isn’t it? You’re sitting there and all of a sudden the program works and you get this “Aha” moment.
Finally! But at least it works.
But it’s because you want it to work, too, isn’t it?
This is why I chose this study programme—to make things work.
We’ve started this RC club, as part of the electrical engineering club. It has everything your heart desires.
You get to play around with things a lot, if you understand what I mean.
There are three girls in my class. I get along very well with my fellow students and enjoy this aspect.
I never think about there not being many women, because that’s just the way it is.
And we all get along very well. We can support one another if the guys are a bit over the top once in a while.
But these guys take good care of their electro girls, too.
There are bars and things like that. I think it’s great.
It’s a very relaxed atmosphere—pleasant and easy-going.
You don’t just learn here, you also actually enjoy the studying process.
