”The students must solve practical problems from the real world”
“It is my belief that students learn by doing, so they receive a lot of practical experience alongside the theory. A lot of students find it entertaining to programme an algorithm or create applications for physical robots, so it is a good way to make mathematics make sense,” says Jimmy Alison Rytz who teaches Robot Systems Engineering.
Solutions for companies
“It is important to me that tasks are grounded in real world problems. The students must be able to solve larger and smaller challenges that influence the real world. For example, some of “my” students created a project for Post Danmark where they were to help develop automatic sorting and handling of packages,” he says.
The objective is independent engineers
“It is great when you get surprised by how students solve a task. It does not matter that it is not the best solution as long as there is independent thought behind,” says Jimmy who also serves as a supervisor for project groups.
“I regard counselling as a sparring between me and the students – I am not the one who dictates how things are done. On the contrary, I emphasise that the students come up with their own solutions.”
