Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to analyze and evaluate global challenges. They will have acquired new working techniques that will help them develop innovative and technical visions for the future. They will be familiar with the most important basic concepts of conscious communication and discussions in interdisciplinary work. They can present and document work results in an appropriate manner. In addition, students will have expanded their intercultural and foreign language skills through work in international teams.

[updated 19.02.2018]
Module content:
Students will discuss the challenges of today´s world and develop technical visions for what they believe life on earth will be like in 10 to 50 years. In international project groups, they will develop and discuss their own technical visions from fields such as bionics, mechatronics, nanotechnology, intelligent materials, renewable energies, optical technologies and information technologies (selection) for a sustainable life on earth.

[updated 24.02.2018]
Teaching methods/Media:
The initial phase will focus on inspiring, future-oriented lectures by our speakers on technical topics of the future. The goal of these lectures is to motivate the students and inspire their conceptual work.  The lectures will be accompanied by workshops on creative techniques (brainstorming, mind mapping, World Café etc.) and team building.
During the main phase, students will work autonomously in groups supported by mentors (lecturers from our partner universities). At the end of each day, together with the lecturers, he students will reflect on their own results, as well as those from the other groups.
The intensive program will end with a presentation and self-assessment of each group´s results in the form of a marketplace.
