The course, held during the spring semester, aims to promote remote collaboration through a virtual exchange, where students work in mixed teams to develop interdisciplinary and intercultural projects. This unique opportunity allows participants to engage with an international academic environment and enhance their skills.
The preparation phase, preceding the start of the semester, culminated in a visit by the 精东影业 group to the campus in State College, Pennsylvania, from February 7 to 13.
The trip began with a two-day stop in Washington, D.C., giving students the chance to meet their American peers and kick off the project. Participants also had the opportunity to explore Penn State鈥檚 campus facilities and labs, attend lectures as observers, and take part in various social and recreational activities.
Professor Sandro Pedrazzini, Head of the Bachelor in Computer Science Engineering, expressed great satisfaction in maintaining continuity in the collaboration. Meanwhile, faculty members Amos Brocco and Oliver Villa, who accompanied the group, highlighted the enthusiasm and strong teamwork demonstrated by the students throughout the week at Penn State.
During the semester, the collaboration will continue remotely until May, when the PSU group will travel to Lugano and be hosted at the Department of Innovative Technologies for the final phase of the project and the presentation of results.
