Im Rahmen einer Kooperation zwischen der Br\u00fcckenprofessur Gender und Diversity in den Ingenieurwissenschaften (GDI) an der Fakult\u00e4t\u00a0 f\u00fcr Bauingenieurwesen der RWTH Aachen und der Fakult\u00e4t f\u00fcr Ingenieurswissenschaften und der d-school der Stanford University wird im September 2015 erstmalig die gemeinsame Summer School und der Follow-Up Kurs \u201eExpanding Engineering Limits: Culture, Diversity and Gender\u201c angeboten. Die Veranstaltung bietet RWTH-Studierenden der Ingenieur- und Sozialwissenschaften (mit Technikbezug) die M\u00f6glichkeit, gemeinsam mit Studierenden der renommierten Stanford University Einblicke in die Zusammenh\u00e4nge zwischen Gender- und Diversity Perspektiven und Ingenieurwissenschaften zu erhalten. Im Rahmen der Summer School an der Stanford University und des Follow-Up Kurses an der RWTH Aachen und an der Stanford University werden Studierende sich mit den Wechselwirkungen von Gesellschaft und Kultur und Technikentwicklung besch\u00e4ftigen. Dabei erlernen Studierende die Methode des \u201eDesign Thinking\u201c, einem Ansatz zur L\u00f6sung komplexer Probleme, der darauf beruht, dass interdisziplin\u00e4re Teams in einem gemeinsamen kreativen Prozess ganzheitliche und nutzerorientierte L\u00f6sungen erarbeiten.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Die Methode des Design Thinking wird am Hasso Plattner Institute of Design<\/a>, der sogenannten d-school der Stanford University gelehrt und weiterentwickelt. Im Rahmen der Summer School wird Prof. Dr. Leicht-Scholten gemeinsam mit Sheri Sheppard eine pop up class am Hasso Plattner Institute of Design anbieten.<\/p>\n

Die Summer School wird gemeinsam von Prof. Dr. Carmen Leicht-Scholten<\/a> (Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Gender- und Diversity in den Ingenieurwissenschaften, RWTH Aachen), Prof. Sheri D. Sheppard<\/a> (Design Group of Mechanical Engineering, Center for Design Research, Stanford University), Shannon K. Gilmartin, Ph.D.<\/a> (School of Engineering, Stanford University) und Carol B. Muller<\/a> (Stanford WISE Ventures) angeboten.<\/p>\n

RWTH Studierende der Ingenieur- und Sozialwissenschaften k\u00f6nnen sich noch bis zum 7. Juli 2015 f\u00fcr eine Teilnahme an Summer School und Follow-Up Kurs bewerben.<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/a>Die Summer-School findet in der Zeit vom\u00a019. bis 26. September<\/strong>\u00a0in Stanford (Kalifornien, USA) statt.\u00a0Der Follow-Up Kurs wird im Anschluss an der RWTH Aachen bis Mitte Dezember stattfinden. Studierende erhalten ein Mobilit\u00e4tsstipendium.<\/p>\n

Die Kosten f\u00fcr die Unterkunft w\u00e4hrend der Summer School werden erstattet. Weitere Informationen bez\u00fcglich des Bewerbung und Organisation finden Sie unter www.gdi.rwth-aachen.de\/stanford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Summer School with Stanford University<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beginning September 2015, a joint summer school and follow up course on \u201cExpanding Engineering Limits: Culture, Diversity and Gender\u201d will be offered at Stanford University in California. This is due to a cooperation agreement between the professorship for gender and diversity in engineering (GDI) at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at RWTH Aachen University and Stanford University\u2019s Faculty of Engineering in addition to their d-School.<\/p>\n

This event gives RWTH students, with a background in engineering or social sciences, the opportunity to obtain insights on the relationship between gender and diversity perspectives and engineering science. Students will deal with the interaction of society, culture and technology development as part of the summer school at Stanford University and the follow-up course at RWTH Aachen and Stanford. During the course of the summer school participants will become familiar with the method of \u201cDesign Thinking\u201d. This is an approach to solve complex problems, which is based on interdisciplinary teamwork in order to develop holistic and customer-driven solutions.<\/p>\n

The method of Design Thinking is taught and developed at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design<\/a>, the so-called \u2018d-school\u2019 at Stanford University. As part of the summer school, Prof. Leicht-Scholten and Sheri Sheppard will offer a pop-up-class at the Institute.<\/p>\n

The summer school is jointly organized by\u00a0\u00a0Prof. Dr. Carmen Leicht-Scholten<\/a> (Chair for Gender and Diversity in Engineering, RWTH Aachen University),\u00a0Prof. Sheri D. Sheppard<\/a> (Design Group of Mechanical Engineering, Center for Design Research, Stanford University),\u00a0Shannon K. Gilmartin, Ph.D.<\/a> (School of Engineering, Stanford University) and\u00a0Carol B. Muller<\/a> (Stanford WISE Ventures).<\/p>\n

RWTH Students with a background in engineering or social sciences are welcome to apply for the summer school and follow-up course by July 7th 2015.<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/a><\/p>\n

The summer school will be held in Stanford California during the 19th \u2013 26th of September<\/strong>, while the follow-up course will take place as a parallel course at both RWTH and Stanford University.<\/p>\n

Students who are accepted to the summer school will receive a mobility grant and the cost of accommodation during the summer school will be funded. Further information regarding the application and organization can be found at www.gdi.rwth-aachen.de\/stanford<\/a>.<\/p>\n
