Christian Effertz

Christian Effertz serves as a Professor in the Department of Physics within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at Aachen University of Applied Sciences. Since June 9, 2022, he has held the position of Chair of the Examination Board for Department 8, overseeing critical academic assessment processes.

His academic focus spans core physics instruction alongside specialized teaching areas including Mathematical and Physical Methods (MPM) and Development Systems and Invention Methodology (ESIM). This interdisciplinary approach bridges theoretical physics with practical engineering applications, particularly in mechatronic systems development and educational methodology innovation. His work emphasizes structured problem-solving frameworks and invention techniques within technical education.

As Examination Board Chair, Effertz manages complex regulatory frameworks including examination regulations (e.g., PO MBB 2018), with particular attention to hardship cases and accreditation procedures. His administrative leadership extends to coordinating examination schedules across multiple degree programs within the faculty.

He actively recruits academic support staff through regular position offerings:

• Student assistants for general competencies development
• Research assistants for project-based work
• Lecturers compensated at €29-35 per semester hour

Office hours operate through a structured digital system using ILIAS learning spaces and Webex meetings, with specific availability patterns during lecture periods (Thursdays 11:45-12:45 in summer semester, Fridays same hours in winter semester) and limited vacation-period availability.
