Internships

Which apprenticeship is actually the best fit for me? What further education do I need to reach my goals? Are you currently dealing with these or similar questions? Then it’s high time to find some answers. To really find out which job is the right one, it can never hurt to give one a try. An internship is the ideal way to experience the working world for first hand and to understand the tasks and challenges ahead.

During a school internship at Infineon, you can experience the world of high-tech up close, have a look into interesting career fields and discover your own capabilities:

  • Internships for Haupt- and Realschüler students, as well as Gymnasium students (i.e., pupils from various levels of secondary education), are available at all locations. Requirements are good grades and an interest in technology. The duration is 1-2 weeks.
  • Organized group internship weeks are sometimes organized during school holidays.
  • Technical pre-study internships for university admission in Regensburg, Munich, and Warstein.

School partnerships

In school, combining theory and practice is the most important thing of all. However, the practice part is often too short. To give you a glimpse into the everyday life of a company, we work together with various schools: For example, we organize excursions devoted to subjects such as energy, sensor technology or electroplating; we lead seminars and host application training sessions. At these events, experienced and friendly Infineon employees always have an open ear for you.

Chips@School 

What is this competition about?

The motto of this competition is „Your ideas for the world of tomorrow”. Chips are used in almost everything that generates, transports or consumes electricity: Cars, trains, wind turbines, computers, gaming consoles or smartphones.

You are the researchers and the developers of tomorrow. Now you have the chance to understand the capabilities and performance of chips. In this competition you can deal with the following question:

“What are the chips of tomorrow doing? How does the future look like?”

Be creative and imagine how we can use chips in the future, in order to make our world a better place.

For whom is the competition?

We invite all pupils from the eighth grade onwards to participate in “Chips@School”. You can take part by yourself or in groups of up to five students. Not only hobby scientists can take part, you can also submit ideas from project days or other lessons. Support from parents and teachers is also welcome.

The transmittals were evaluated by a jury of experienced Infineon employees and associate university professors based on criteria such as sustainability, quality of life, creativity and innovation, accuracy of the presentation, comprehensibility, elaboration and overall impression.

In this year we had three projects with the same score and thus three winners!

"Smart Industrial CO2 Emission Monitoring and Reduction System" (Gymnasium Kirchheim) – Monitoring and reduction of CO2 emissions in industrial processes by using sensors. Data analysis can be used to identify and improve inefficient processes and optimize the use of energy.

"SolarSmart" (Gymnasium Freiham) – A model house was built that illustrates the future of living and relies on the complete networking of all appliances. A central computer controls everything so that household appliances only consume electricity when the solar system is generating power. The electric car is used to store energy at night. The model house was designed, planned, built, electrified and programmed independently by the team.

"Vertical Farming" (Gymnasium Lappersdorf) – Cultivation of plants in high shelves on a substrate basis. A sensor recognizes the chlorophyll content of the plants, allowing conclusions to be drawn about their health. A chip controls the most important functions such as optimum lighting and irrigation.
