Summer Schools at WUST

Courses of 2025 edition

Faculty of Architecture

The course provide students with the skills to practically apply the principles of Universal Design and accessibility diagnosis both in public spaces and in the design of residential spaces considering individual or collective special needs, in particular people with disabilities and the elderly. Educating a new generation of designers representing a human-centered approach to design is one of the activities that bring us closer to realizing the idea of a civil society based on the principles of equal opportunities and non-discrimination. Summer school demonstrate the integrative role of Universal Design in the functioning of communities, by ensuring that as many people as possible can use architectural space independently and autonomously. Participants will experience architectural barriers through personal experience during simulation workshops.

Faculty of Information and Communication Technology

During the course, students will be introduced to the best practices of designing reliable and redundant computer network topologies. The aim: the creation of networks resistant to various types of failures. Redundancy issues in the second and third layer will be raised. Various methods of computer networks management will be presented. First, the standard methods of configuration and IOS systems management. Secondly, modern methods of programming SDN networks will be practiced, during which students will train the centralized configuration of devices using Python scripts and the API of IOS systems. Due to the increasing popularity of computer networks, the group of people interested in breaking into them is also growing. Therefore, the next part of the course is devoted to securing networks and network devices against attacks and overload. The final part will be devoted to monitoring and analyzing network traffic and detecting threats or attacks.

Faculty of Environmental Engineering

Are you passionate about sustainable design and eager to shape the future of our built environment? Learn how to design buildings that are not only energy-efficient but also comfortable for living. Join our Net-Zero Design summer course and be part of the sustainable building revolution!

Currently, the building design sector is facing a number of challenges for engineers. This course offers a comprehensive exploration of net-zero energy buildings, focusing on innovative solutions to combat climate change. Its main goal is to present the holistic approach to the design of the net-zero energy buildings according to European climate neutrality policy. You will learn how to apply the renewable energy and passive solutions in modern buildings with the emphasis on maintaining thermal comfort of the users. You will be introduced to the design of buildings with minimal energy demand, installations based on solar thermal collectors, heat pumps and energy recovery systems. You will have an opportunity to measure physical parameters of indoor air with the high-quality laboratory equipment and familiarize with the range of engineering tools (EDSL TAS, PVGIS, TRNSYS and others) dedicated for energy simulations. The course consists mostly of active forms like laboratory, calculus and simple projects. Practical classes will be preceded by short lectures.

Faculty of Pure and Applied Mathematics

According to CareerCast, Data Scientist is one of the best job of recent years. It requires a unique blend of skills from three disciplines: mathematics computer science and domain, which is very attractive to many employers. Strong computer science skills and different approach to data analysis, based on scientific method, is what makes Data Scientists different from statisticians. At the same time, Python is becoming a language of choice for many data scientists, next to languages like Scala and statistical packages like R. It is also the first programming language many people learn, no matter their age. This course gives you a chance to quickly build up your Python skills, learn basics of how data scientist works and apply all this to a project on a real, large data sets.

 Faculty of Pure and Applied Mathematics

Knowing programming alone is not enough to be a successful engineer or scientist. This is because the type of programming used by them is very different from what is required at (for example) big companies which make and maintain applications, and standard programming courses typically focus on that. Engineer needs to know how to translate mathematical models into code, make it efficient, transparent and flexible, analyse and visualise results of the simulations. This is the area of scientific computing.

The course will also teach Julia programming language, which is a useful bridge between high level languages which are easy to code and flexible, and low level languages which are faster and more suitable for extensive computations.

Faculty of Electronics, Photonics and Microsystems

Have you ever had to write software for your project quickly? How can you build a complete application for hardware control or data acquisition in a day? Is there a programming language that you can learn without memorizing instructions and syntax? Find the best solution to these and other engineering tasks by learning graphical programming in LabVIEW! Created by National Instruments (NI) this programming environment is used worldwide to develop engineering systems for automated testing and design validation, to control and monitor machines, devices or industrial equipment, and for many other professional applications. It is also often the first choice for developing research setups, mechatronic systems, student projects, and even smart home applications with intuitive hardware control and simple communication with sensors or actuators. LabVIEW uses graphical symbols that are easy to remember and understand, and therefore for over the past 40 years it has become one of the best tools for building functional programming applications, especially by engineers who are not professional programmers. So take part in this summer course, learn LabVIEW from zero and check out that programming may be simple, easy… and smart!
