At the welcome reception, MUAS Vice President Professor Klaus Kreulich, Professor Martin Renner, Ms. Gabriela Vasil and two assistants warmly received visiting students and introduced the program. Over the following two weeks, four MUAS professors gave lectures on energy supply, and cross-cultural communication, and arranged field trips to laboratories and companies.
Vice President Klaus Kreulich’s introduction to the winter camp
The MUAS winter camp courses covered different fields, such as energy heating systems, efficient clean energy heating, comparison of current German-Sino heating methods, smart home system and heating system principles, and cross-cultural communication. The interaction in laboratories and classrooms allowed students to gain a deep understanding of the operational principles of energy heating system. The hands-on practice and design enabled students apply the knowledge they learned to real-life scenarios. By combining theory with practical experience, these courses not only helped students further comprehend professional knowledge in the field of energy supply but also enabled them to experience teaching methods from different cultural backgrounds firsthand.

Through the classroom learning, experiments, and practical training during the winter camp, SDJU graduate students significantly enhanced their cognitive level of professional abilities. This immersive pedagogical approach not only equipped them with practical skills but has also nurtured their problem-solving capacity, laying a solid foundation for their future research. Moreover, the winter camp’s cross-cultural exchange and perspectives constituted its uniqueness. Participants had the opportunity to interact with local students, experiencing the charm of different cultures. This cross-cultural exchange not only facilitated a better comprehension and appreciation of diverse cultures but also elevated their communication skills and ability to solve cross-cultural issues.
