BEAT the PROF – The Ultimate Mechanical Engineering Christmas Foosball Challenge

At the “BEAT the PROF” foosball tournament, Mechanical Engineering students compete in teams of two against fellow students and teams of professors. The event combines sporting ambition, team spirit and the opportunity to connect beyond everyday university life. Those who prefer not to play are also welcome to watch and cheer on the teams.

Following the tournament, the IDEeP (Institute for Digital Engineering and Production) invites participants to get to know the people and research activities behind the institute. Professors, staff and students conduct research in areas such as mechanical engineering, materials science, simulation and digital production. In a relaxed atmosphere, students can learn about current projects and discover opportunities for final-year theses, student projects and student assistant positions.
