Join multidisciplinary and international teams at the ECIU University and solve standard challenges linked to the SDG11 - Sustainable cities and communities, provided by business and societal partners across Europe. Participation in standard challenges will allow you to make a real impact in the community, city, or region by solving real-time local, national, and global challenges with a new way of learning - the challenge-based learning. Generalprocedure of a challenge: - The standard challenge is provided by a city, region or business stakeholder and is entered on the ECIU UniversityChallenge platform (engage.eciu.eu).
- You register to the standard challenge you find relevant on the platform.
- An international andinter disciplinary team is formed from registered participants from all ECIU partner universities and a team facilitator from the host university is assigned.
- You work with the team on the standard challenge, engage, investigate, and propose non-technical solutions using the challenge-based learning methodology (https://eciu.tuhh.de/challenge-based-learning/).
- During the process, you can select relevant micro-modules from ECIU member universities that help you gain additional knowledge or skills that are relevant to solve the standard challenge.
- Finally, teams deliver their outputs- which may include services, products, research questions, start-ups and spin-offs.
By working in multi-disciplinary and/or international teams, you will build up inter-cultural competences and increase your network of expertise by developing problem-solving and team-work skills. TUHH is major part of the ECIU University leading institution related to Challenge-based learning. All ECIU challenges will constantly be updated at the challenge platform: engage.eciu.eu “Standard challenges” are challenges in the ECIUUniversity that are supposed to be done within 3-6 months. Focus is to define your actual challenge, find suitable solution(s) and to implement as well asevaluate and publish them. https://eciu.tuhh.de/cbl-in-more-detail/ This course is aimed at Master students frommember universities of the ECIU network (www.eciu.org). The course requires an independent approach to work, the willingness to learn independently about newnon-technical topics and research methods, and the motivation to learn andactively participate in an international/disciplinary team. |
