Project Workshop

SeAMK Projektipaja® (Project Workshop, Project Factory) is an active learning concept at the School of Technology of Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences (SeAMK). In the Project Workshop the project based learning connects the theory to the practice. The student teams develop their know-how and their project skills by solving the real assignments of the company under the control of company representatives and teachers of SeAMK. These assignments can be pre-planning tasks of production or software, product development, testing, etc. Student team can be multidisciplinary in which there are students from different degree programmes of the School of Technology (ICT, mechanical engineering, automation). One project lasts approximately 1-2months.
The objective of the Project Workshop is that the students get new know-how which is deeper and wider than usual and which is related to an engineer's assignments. They adopt and train technical and production know-how and their project skills.
Project Workshop studies have been built in the curriculum of the degree programme and students get credit points from their work. Companies get a very innovative proposed solution indeed to the subject of development and and at the same time they are able to become acquainted with their possible future workers. Participation is free of charge to companies, they only need to cover the possible material costs.
