Connect (June 22-23):

Consists of workshops and panels that connect delegates with industry and business to promote the transfer of skills, information and knowledge.

The Enterprise Resource Planning workshop uses industry standard SAP in an active participation mode to demonstrate how it can be used for teaching and learning. The SAP ERP system is demonstrated through its use via a problem-based simulation system which allows you to run a manufacturing company and make decisions to maximize its performance. This real-time system was shown to be most effective in the classroom for all types of students: marketing, accounting, finance, supply chain, engineering and MIS. In this workshop you will not only see our experiences in the classroom but also you will have hands-on understanding of how game-based learning works using industry applications.
