The summerschool courses offered at Aarhus University School of Engineering 2013 are:

Conceptual design and development of innovative products
Time: 1 – 19 July, Shanghai
This course takes students out of their conventional class-room environment and places them in a real, dynamic industrial environment emphasizing problem-based learning in a multidisciplinary setting. During the first week, focus is on how you get from an open idea for a new, multidisciplinary product to the use innovation to come up with a concept and a prototype. In the remaining two weeks, focus is on how you take the conceptual idea to the stage of a technical feasibility study and prototyping for a final concept presentation.
