SEGi University recently hosted an innovative summer camp initiative, merging education with tourism in a way that offered participants an immersive and enriching experience. The two-week edu-tourism programme was held at SEGi University, Kota Damansara, from 29 July to 9 August 2024, and welcomed 14 visitors from Pingdingshan, Henan, China. Organised by the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment, and Information Technology) and supported by the International Marketing department, the programme provided a unique blend of academic learning and cultural exploration.
The workshops, designed by expert lecturers with industrial experience, provided a comprehensive introduction to engineering, built environment, and information technology. Participants had the opportunity to engage in interactive learning sessions, including guided lectures, software simulations, lab practices, and hands-on activities. These sessions aimed to spark interest and deepen understanding in fields such as civil engineering (building bridges), electrical and electronics engineering (robotics and automation), architecture (assembling structures), information technology (IoT programming and websites), and chemical engineering (extraction and production). The use of hands-on activities ensured that participants left with practical knowledge, aligning with educational best practices that stress experiential learning.
