Every summer, Ferrol Industrial Campus organises training courses on Smart Industry and Advanced Manufacturing, such as: Arduino Sensors & Data Acquisition, Artificial Intelligence, Product Design & Development, Underwater Robotics, Lean Six Sigma, Ethics in Industrial Management, Additive Manufacturing & 3D Design, etc.

All courses are cross-curricular and addressed to several profiles, as the collaborative tasks will every participant integrate its previous knowledge to reach a common goal. They take place during summer break, Monday to Friday, from 10am to 2pm with a break, in small collaborative groups and 100% taught in English.

The courses adopt a highly practical, project-based methodology, aligned with the principles of Industry 4.0 and active learning models. Students develop a complete project that includes 3D design of components, additive manufacturing, sensor installation, data acquisition & analysis, and the execution of a real experimental trial. Each session incorporates hands-on activities such as handling, assembling, printing and direct experimentation with equipment and tools.

Since the first edition in 2023, around 200 participants have joined our summer courses, not only undergraduate and postgraduate students, but also researchers and teaching staff from several countries like Armenia, Morocco, Turkey, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Jamaica, Ukraine, Albania, Portugal, Romania, Poland, Syria, Egypt, Slovakia, Latvia, France, Montenegro, Serbia, Austria, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Germany, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Benin, Ghana or India.
