This task has three steps

1)     Individual research:

Choose one successful Finnish engineering company that you find interesting.

Conduct online research to gather information about the company's history, notable projects, and contributions to the engineering field.

Write an introduction of the chosen company, summarizing key points in English. The text is to be posted in a common forum so that every student can read each other's texts:

·       Briefly introduce the company, location, founding year and its primary field of engineering. Does the company operate globally? Where?

·       Summarise any notable innovations or technologies developed by the company.

·       Include information about the company's mission, vision, and core values.

·       Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Briefly mention the company's commitment to corporate social responsibility, such as sustainability efforts or community engagement.

·       Employee culture:  Can you find information about the company culture and values that contribute to a positive working environment? Mention any employee-centric initiatives or programs.

2) Read each others' texts in the forum to prepare for step 3.

3)   Group discussion in online class

·       Be ready to summarise your findings in spoken English and discuss thoughts and opinions about the companies each student researched.

·       Discuss what makes each company interesting or unique.

·       Share any commonalities or differences between the companies discussed.

·       Reflect on the impact of these companies on the engineering landscape.
