An Ecosystem for Innovation
Technical University of Denmark
At the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) the Skylab is a place where engineering students can get together with professors and industry professionals to cultivate the kinds of skills required for a new generation of engineers to benefit society as much as possible.
SkyLab represents a dynamic learning ecosystem, breaking down the traditional classroom and providing a variety of physical spaces, from a unique auditorium to makerspace and a range of labs.
Here students can get together with mentors from all over academia and industry to work on projects designed not only to foster new design ideas and startup companies, but to cultivate the kinds of competencies needed to manoeuvre around a fast moving globalized world.
This approach is central to teaching and learning at DTU. Courses here are designed to stimulate analytical thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration as well as an entrepreneurial spirit, coupled with solid academic knowledge. It's the combination of all these competencies that will allow engineers to thrive in their future work.
