This optional module in year 1, semester 2, exposes students to the real-world application of contemporary entrepreneurship and interactive campus-based experiences across the many fields of study at the university. The module not only immerses learners in the variety of technology specialisms available to students in the schools of the University, but also unlocks important consideration of why concepts like intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship can enhance professional success – irrespective of whether the aim is to develop new technology products and businesses, or pursue careers within existing organisations. The module also sought to provide a broad grasp of Syntegrative Education and how it benefits students. Under this framework, students can also explore various industries and discover their interests. This module promotes student-directed learning and facilitates the transfer from high school to international universities such as XJTLU Entrepreneur College. Additional objectives include encouraging students' curiosity and interest rather than enforcing the nuances of each discipline.
A Identify intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship concepts and describe their relationship to commercial success B Demonstrate foundational awareness of Syntegrative Education by articulating key concepts of integrating diverse technologies and applying Object-based learning tools (e.g., mobile phones) and Problem-based learning methods to practical examples.
The module is delivered over four days and takes place entirely at the XJTLU Entrepreneur College (XEC) in Taicang. Students who enroll in each module offered by each school will attend seminars at all the schools in a rotational manner. A "tool" such as a mobile phone will enable students to integrate various technologies by applying object-based learning tools (e.g., mobile phones) and problem-based learning approaches to real-world situations. This enables students to understand the application and benefits of Syntegrative Education. Real-world demonstrations of equipment, teaching facilities, simulations, visualizations, and other elements are provided. The module will take an engaging, interactive approach, with certain seminars co-taught by industry partners or guest speakers who may include activities pertinent to the module's topic. Technology will play a significant role in the module, with materials made available prior to each session and student discussion groups made digitally available following each seminar to ensure an ongoing learning experience.
