Pedagogical Activity 3: Challenge@Polito Student teams compete for best solution to industry needs
Hosting university: Politecnico Di Torino
April 27th, 10.00-11.30 CET
Politecnico di Torino has developed and well tested in the last four years an innovative challenge based approach of learning for its master’s students, through initiatives named Challenge@Polito. Challenges are innovative learning activities organized within the CLIK – Connection Lab and Innovation Kitchen.
The CLIK is an experimental teaching lab promoted by the Interdepartmental Laboratory for Technology Transfer (LabTT) with the support of the Department of Control and Computer Engineering (DAUIN) and the Technology Transfer and Industrial Liaison Department (TRIN). The CLIK proposes a new teaching approach to foster cross-pollination (Connection Lab) among state-of-the-art research, students’ innovative ideas, different backgrounds, cutting-edge equipment, urban and territorial planning and businesses with a bit of fun and in a relaxed environment (Innovation Kitchen).
In this proposed UNITE! activity, we will show our experience at PoliTo. The focus will be first on the learning outcomes of such activities, and the students’ skills that can be fostered. We will also briefly analyse the issues related to the management and organization of challenges.
A successful learner will become aware of:
● the learning outcomes obtained by problem-solving activities related to real-life and business/industry related problems;
● the issues related to implementation and management of such activities.
● the methods for evaluating the work performed by students during these activities.
Target group:
Any teacher, faculty or lecturer in the field of architecture and engineering interested in implementing problem-solving activities related to real-life and business/industry related problems. Personnel involved in technology-transfer departments willing to implement student-industry interaction activities. No prerequisites are needed.
