Welcome to the DKE student projects
Dear students, here we present you some of the past projects made by our DKE Bachelor and Master students during their studies and final thesis. We hope you enjoy seeing all the cool stuff that your colleagues made at DKE. Also the projects shown here might be an inspiration for you when you decide for your own Bachelor or Master thesis project.
In the following you will see some of the categories in which students at DKE made projects so far. Projects in additional categories are available. Please ask your lecturers for advice. Please note that due to our work on cutting-edge technologies also in collaborations with outstanding companies, on this website we can only show a fraction of our past student projects. Many project results have to be kept confidential due to non-disclosure agreements. Also, this website has been launched in 2016. So mostly only DKE student projects since 2016 are visible.
