ITEE Summer Programme 2025
The Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE) launches a new Summer Programme which is designed to strengthen degree students’ concept and system development skills based on real-life use cases.
By joining the ITEE Summer Programme 2025 you can gain novel perspectives on your creative, problem-solving and teamwork skills as well as company collaboration which will enhance your innovation capabilities and ICT career preparedness.
Our course, Real-time Embedded Systems (TE00AS44), will guide you through a full ICT project cycle, from planning and design to implementation, validation, documentation, and demonstration of operational IoT systems. Depending on your interests, you can select among multiple topics such as healthcare, automation, wearables, security, robotics, artificial intelligence, battery and energy management, environmental monitoring, and energy harvesting, to name a few.
Through introductory talks, hands-on exercises and motivating development sprints, you will strengthen your industry-oriented skills that will set you apart. As a final outcome, you will present your creative results to industry representatives receiving constructive feedback and sharing ideas for further development.
Along with the technical and practical course work, you can participate in social programme, which is an integral part of the intensive course. While building your ICT skills, you will get to enjoy the Finnish summer, network and learn about your new home town and its surroundings.
