Hardware Rental Updates
Written on 22.04.2021 17:44 by Martin Feick
Dear students,
based on your feedback and many questions we received, we decided to slightly modify the hardware rental program.
Students who are eligible (no changes):
Only students from the following subjects are (by default) eligible for the hardware rental:
1) Media informatics (B.Sc.) since it is a mandatory (core) lecture for them.
2) BSc/MSc Computer Science (Advanced Lecture)
3) MSc Embedded Systems (Advanced Lecture)
4) MSc Entrep. Cypersecurity (Advanced Lecture)
5) Media informatics (M.Sc.). If you have not taken it as part of your B.Sc. (either because you have been at another university, or you were enrolled in a B.Sc. program other than Media Informatics). (Advanced Lecture)
If you want to rent the hardware, and you belong to one of the above-mentioned subjects, it is required that you submit the rental agreement until April 30th.
Students who are not eligible (updates):
There is a chance that we have some hardware kits left over. We will distribute them to the remaining students on a random basis.
If you want to sign-up for this, please submit the rental agreement to the “Waiting List” submission category in CMS until April 30th. On May 1st, we will inform you about whether we have a spare kit for you.
Please be aware that you are not guaranteed a hardware kit, and in case you still need to purchase it afterwards, you will most likely get the hardware too late for ex. 2 and the “Introduction to Arduino” course. Therefore, we recommend buying one yourselves or at least having one kit per project team, so that you can follow along.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused, but we were honestly surprised by the number of students who registered for the course. That being said, we are very happy that so many people are interested in the topic, and we’ll try to support you in any way possible.
Best,
Your Interactive Systems Team
