Facts
All summer schools are a mixture of theory and problem-based teamwork, and the students work with real cases from the collaborating companies. The summer school programmes are very popular and only the best students in the field get the opportunity to participate.
The main goals 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 the Engineering College of Aarhus
-
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 summer schools are supported financially by the industry and Aarhus University School of Engineering. Aarhus University School of Engineering has the overall professional responsibility for the academic contents of the summer schools so the courses are ECTS rewarding. However, representatives from the participating companies actively contribute to both the planning and the execution of the summer schools.
