Teaching Methods

The teaching methodology was designed to create an innovative culture among students, to promote discussion and encourage students to deepen their knowledge on innovation autonomously. Thus, the active participation of the students is to be favoured in idea generation and in solving some of the world most challenging problems by means of a project. This module is interdisciplinary and for example, students from the sciences and technology can join together with students from the social sciences. The module includes lecture classes to expose the module contents using audio-visual means, supplementary readings and videos, and case studies. The evaluation will be based on the project.
