Jordanian student inspires Aalen with innovative ideas and visions!

Aalen, Deutschland - omar Quasim al-Maaitah, an ambitious student from Jordan, is currently causing a breath of fresh air at the Aalen University of Applied Sciences. Inspired by the “Westworld” television series, he chose the subject of mechatronics. "It is an area that combines technology and creativity," explains the 21-year-old enthusiastically. Even before his stay in Germany, he studied at German Jordanian University (GJU) in Mushaquar, an institution that maintains a strategic partnership with the Aalen University of Applied Sciences and is based on the German University of Applied Sciences. Due to this cooperation, GJU students spend a year in Germany, divided between a university and practical missions in companies, which particularly promotes practical orientation. According to schwaebische.de, al-Maaitah estimates the possibilities that he offers.

He showed interest in technical solutions early on. At the age of only 12, he developed a "smart Window" to improve air quality in Jordanian households. This shows his great interest in electronics and innovative technologies. His commitment was also impressive: as Vice President of the Arab Children's Parliament and founder of the "Club for Politics and Dialogue" at the GJU, he actively campaigned for the youth. In Aalen he now finds the quiet atmosphere that he likes compared to large cities. He is particularly looking forward to visiting his brother, who will bring him a touch of home. Despite the first challenges of bureaucratic hurdles and language barriers, he has now settled in well, not least thanks to the support of the International Center of the Aalen University

studies in Aalen and outlook

Overall, al-Maaitah plans to make his master and maybe even promotion in Germany, possibly in Aalen. If he strikes this direction, he will work in an area that is becoming increasingly important. The mechatronics combine mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, which is sought -after skills these days. The master's degree in "Mechatronics - Smart Technologies" is aimed at graduates: inside engineering and scientific courses. Applicants must have at least 75 ECTS points inside to be approved, the decision about the approval ability is made by the course management. Further information is available on mci.edu.

The mechatronics bachelor's degree at the Karl Hochschule offers practical training, which includes the analysis, the design and development of complex technical systems. The students can specialize in three different profilings: robotics, drive technology and medical technology. Each of these subjects opens specific career paths in industry and thus promotes the professional prospects of graduates: inside. It is an apprenticeship that ends with a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Sc.) and prepares the students for current challenges in technology. More information can be found on karlshochschule.de.

Al-Maaitah also encourages the students from Aalen to consider a semester abroad in Jordan in order to experience the cultural and natural beauties of his home country himself. The interaction of practical training and intercultural exchange could not only enrich the personal but also professional development.
