Photo Album: Germany

This is a collection of photos taken during my Ph.D. study in Germany. The Institute of Metal Forming here had over 50 people. We worked from 6:45am to 3:30pm; as Ph.D. candidate we had to follow the regular office hour. Some Ph.D. candidates may be approved to serve as the secondary adviser of a Master student (Diplom-Ing.), as was in my case. Lots of parties and beer-drinking occasions, as indicated in the pictures. (Click to enlarge)

*** The last lecture: by tradition, the last lecture (die letzte Vorlesung) is a celebration only. So the professor talks all kinds of jokes in the class. Beer and food are served for everyone. Students dress unusually, such as to combine formal jacket and tie with short pants.
