The Tuuwi invites on Friday 14.07 to a demo against a planned parking garage on the campus of the TU Dresden – that would be 12 million € wasted tax money! Because it is not even needed! This shows the mobility concept of the TU Dresden. Instead, we need convenient, cheap and safe public transport, bike paths & co! 🚲

Spread the word and bring your friends to the demo: https://tuuwi.de/parkhaus
More info here: https://t.me/+23Ta-WEL17UzOTli

We look forward to seeing you in as large numbers as possible.

Starting point: Friday 14.07.2023
14:30 – > Nürnberger Platz!

What exactly is planned and why?

Saxony’s construction management company SIB plans to build a parking garage with 400 parking spaces on the TU campus for the new buildings. Dresden’s parking space statute requires that there be sufficient parking spaces for new buildings. But these are already available – the parking garage is superfluous.

A parking garage is a bad idea

The mobility concept of the TU Dresden shows that a parking garage is not needed: the TU parking spaces are more than sufficient. Forecasts show that the 400 newly planned parking spaces in the parking garage would hardly be used. If the parking garage were built, Dresden’s fresh air supply would be cut off from the southern slope and another area on the TU campus would be built up. Moreover, a parking garage is heading in completely the wrong direction: If the same money were invested in good public transportation instead of 400 parking spaces, more TU employees would benefit: for 12 million euros, DVB could transport thousands of additional passengers every day. Many TU members need above all more regular affordable rural public transport, because today many are dependent on the car.

What do we need to achieve?

Further planning for the parking garage must be stopped immediately! Instead, we need convenient and affordable public transport in Saxony, especially in the countryside! This must be affordable (job ticket, semester ticket). For this the rectorate must make itself strong.

The city of Dresden should revise its parking space statutes and traffic planning: in Dresden, too, we need good public transport and safe cycling infrastructure, instead of too many parking spaces and streets that are too wide according to outdated predictions.

Wir als FSR bieten auch in der Prüfungsphase im SoSe 2023 wieder Büroöffnungszeiten an, um Beratung, Klausurendruckservice und viele andere Dienstleistungen durchzuführen. Die Öffnungszeiten sind auf das Prüfungsamt Verkehrswissenschaften abgestimmt, das in der vorlesungsfreien Zeit dienstags von 13:00 Uhr bis 17:30 Uhr und donnerstags von 09:00 Uhr bis 11:00 Uhr oder nach Terminvereinbarung geöffnet ist.

Das FSR-Büro ist während der Kernprüfungszeit, also bis zum 11.08., jeden Dienstag und Donnerstag jeweils von 10 – 12 Uhr und von 13 – 15 Uhr geöffnet. Jeden Donnerstagnachmittag werden wir euch im Büro außerdem über den Studienordnungsübertritt informieren können, sofern dazu Fragen bestehen.

Nicht zuletzt wünschen wir euch noch eine erfolgreiche Prüfungsphase und anschließend schöne und erholsame Sommersemesterferien.

As in previous years, we are looking for tutors for this year’s freshers’ orientation (ESE), which will take place from 02.10.2023 to 08.10.2023. In order to give the first-year students the best possible start to their university life at the faculty, we are dependent on your help. Your task as a tutor is to give the first-year students all the important information they need for their start at university, to guide them through the faculty building, to show them the most important places on campus and to explore the city with them.

Especially for the supervision of the English-language Master’s programmes Transportation Economics, Air Transport and Logistics, we are looking for tutors who offer supervision in English. We are also looking forward to foreign students who can take on this task. In the Bachelor’s programme in Transportation Economics as well as in the Master’s programme in Electrical Transportation Systems, we have had very few tutors in the past years, so it would be nice if the first-year students had tutors from the respective programme.

You can easily register via the following OPAL course: https://tud.link/n7lm. You can register individually for each event you want to supervise. Therefore, it is no problem if you do not have time for all ESE events. Only the supervision of a first-year group (including a tour of the faculty, a short explanation of the degree programme, etc.) on Thursday, 05.10.2023 is obligatory, as experience has shown that we need the most tutors there. We would also provide you with a short training session shortly before the ESE. Otherwise, we would be happy if you register for as many other events as possible.

If you have any questions or problems with enrolment, please feel free to contact us by email at fsrverkehr@tu-dresden.de.

As many people are probably already aware, there are new study regulations for the diploma programme in traffic engineering. While students of the second semester already study in the new order and do not have to worry about anything, a transfer may make sense for students of the sixth and especially the fourth semester. The faculty has recently provided information about this on the following website:

---

While the new study regulations bring benefits for many students and the teaching offer has been improved through renewal and further development, some problems also arise, two of which are particularly relevant and serious for larger parts of the student body:

• Problems with transfer due to late graded exams or/and assignments, which make transfer on 1 October or 1 April impossible.
• Courses not offered in the old form for 4th semester students who do not want to transfer or for students of higher semesters who have to make up courses.

Because of these two problems, we have contacted the Dean and the Dean of Studies of Transport Engineering with a statement, which you can find linked below. In cooperation with all stakeholders, we are trying to ensure that as many students as possible do not suffer any disadvantages when transferring and will keep you updated here.
