Aarhus University, School of Engineering

Since 1915, the Aarhus University School of Engineering (Ingeniørhøjskolen i Århus – IHA) has educated highly qualified engineers for the Danish and international business world. Previously a self-owning institution with studies financed by the state, in 2012 the School of Engineering fused with Aarhus University to become the "Aarhus University School of Engineering". The School presently has approximately 1,500 students and 150 academic, technical and administrative staff.

The Aarhus University School of Engineering represents all engineering studies in Aarhus, bachelor as well as master studies and associated PhD programs within the engineering sciences.The engineering studies include major technical fields with associated research and development.

This full spectrum of activities at Aarhus University School of Engineering is actively focused within industrial collaborations, participate in national research and development collaborative actions and engage it self vigorously in international partnerships.

Summer School: Aarhus University School of Engineering

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 2012 are:

Conceptual design and development of innovative products

Time: 24 June - 13 July 2012
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.
