On 10 May 2025, the Institute of Construction and Drive Technology (IKAT) presented itself as part of the Open Day at Chemnitz University of Technology with two interactive formats: the shadow building game and the MUT Lounge.
The shadow building game offered visitors the opportunity to playfully test their spatial imagination. The starting point was a 3-panel projection – a central form of representation in the Construction Theory I module (Technical Drawing). Starting from this two-dimensional representation, the task was to reconstruct the corresponding three-dimensional object using cube-shaped building blocks. The activity provided a vivid demonstration of basic engineering skills and made the programme tangible.
The new Bachelor’s degree programme in Human-Environment Technology was presented in the MUT Lounge. This future-oriented course takes a generalist approach to education, enabling future engineers to analyse and design technical systems holistically – taking into account ecological, economic and social factors. Particular attention is paid to an innovative didactic concept that deliberately departs from traditional frontal teaching and focuses on modern, interactive forms of learning.
With these contributions, IKAT emphasised its commitment to practical teaching, interdisciplinary training and sustainable technology design
