ECIU University seeks for learners who take responsibility and shape a sustainable future with new mindsets, behaviours, ways of learning, thinking and working in support of new solutions, technologies and innovations. The big idea for 2024 is to develop a concept for a climate neutral campus. The strategic challenge is a six-month challenge that offers master students a unique learning experience. It involves writing a Master’s thesis (expected workload of about 900 hours or about 30 ECTS) that is somehow linked to the topic of the challenge. The maximum of 30 ECTS includes both the writing of a Master’s thesis and the work on the challenge, since both are assumed to be of mutual benefit. Examination and grading are conducted according to home university guidelines and regulations.
These are the teamchers youll work with on the challenge.
Learners develop self-directed learning skills to recognize and fill their knowledge gaps, synthesize and apply them to formulate the solution. Learners in their learning activities: • learn to work in teams, evaluate different approaches to solve the problem and justify the choices made • construct individually new knowledge by extracting important concepts and information, explaining what they understand, and inquiring about what they do not fully understand
Learners critically determine the best solution for the problem and use meta-cognitive skills to internalize and generalize the concepts and skills learned. Learners in their learning activities: • develop, submit and present their solution in teams as well as with all stakeholders involved in the challenge • have in-team discussion on the overall functionality of the team work • reflect on their performance and strategies for improvements.
Learners are able to understand and analyz the problem, defineit in terms of their existing knowledge, as well as the new knowledge needed. The learner in their learning activities: • prepare individually problem restatement and problem identification • discuss in teams, starting from their individual problem restatement and identification to reach a consensus for the team on problem restatement and identification • draw up an action plan
