Dear D-ITET members,
dear students

Challenging times lie behind us, but – more importantly – also in front of us. Thanks to the discipline of all of you, ETH and D-ITET are still rather safe places regarding Covid-19 with a relatively low rate of reported cases. Let’s all make sure it remains like this!

With this edition of DISCOVER D-ITET I would like to give you an overview about current developments and initiatives at our department: First, we are especially proud that the new teaching tool “Magic Cube” has been officially launched. It uses a playful approach to teach junior high and high school students the basics of electrical engineering and awaken their interest in the field. We are confident that raising fascination for the area will bring a lot of new D-ITET students over the years.

As you will read, we have had a few changes over the last months D-ITET internally. One piece of news concerns myself, as I will be taking over the new role of Vice President for Knowledge Transfer and Corporate Relations at the ETH Zurich Executive Board. This means that there will be a new Head of Department – I will update you very soon on these developments.

Last, but not least, I would like to ask all of you to please hold on and keep up the good work, be it in the labs, as admin staff or as a student.

Stay safe and healthy!

All the best,

Vanessa Wood
Head of Department
