Summer School: Aarhus University School of Engineering

Every year in July and August, Aarhus University School of Engineering organises a number of international summer schools in close cooperation with industrial companies and other Danish institutions. All summer schools are a mixture of theory and problem-based teamwork, and the students work with real cases from the cooperating companies.

The summer school programmes at Aarhus University School of Engineering are very popular. Each year students from across the world travel to Denmark to explore a specific area of expertise and gain insight into the latest knowledge in the field. Only the best students in the field get the opportunity to participate. The main objectives of the summer schools are to challenge students to:

use and develop their engineering qualifications within an industrial setting
experience the activities in an international environment with close interaction between the industry and Aarhus University School of Engineering
work in teams and use their own skills to solve complex practical tasks
solve tasks through creative and innovative approaches
obtain a professional network with other future engineers both nationally and internationally

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.
