It neighbors universities, Wanda Plaza, Meishu Jinlu, Dujiangyan, and Qingcheng Mountain (Scenic Area), forming a symbol of the "Cultural West Zone."
Project Background and Objectives
Aiming at the dual challenges faced by 16–18-year-old international curriculum students in China: "scarce internship resources" and "insufficient competitiveness in top university applications," this project adopts a dual-track model of "enterprise practice + academic empowerment" to provide three core values for students:
Solve Internship Dilemmas
Collaborate with IoT leading enterprise Tiancheng Smart Group to open industrial project workstations. Provide practical opportunities in Zigbee3.0 protocol development, intelligent community system deployment, and other cutting-edge technologies, addressing the pain points of "many internships, little substance." Guide students to participate in the entire project cycle.
Build a Competitiveness Matrix for Further Study
With full guidance from enterprise engineers, produce industrial project portfolios applicable to PS (Personal Statement). Complete EPQ topics and achieve an A-rate guarantee (83% of students achieve A). Provide enterprise evaluations and joint endorsements from university professors to strengthen the authority of application materials.
Achieve Capacity and Cognitive Upgrade
Master the full-process skills of IoT development and cultivate problem-solving thinking. Through the investigation of Chengdu smart city projects, understand the application scenarios and social value of technologies. Improve the working mode adaptable to the industrial sector, laying a practical foundation for university major studies.
Who is suitable for the YBTC Extended Project Course？
Who is Suitable for Participating in the EPC Elite Training Program?
1.Students in International Curriculum Systems
Educational Background: Studying A-Level, IB, AP, or other international curricula, not participating in the domestic college entrance examination.
Application Goal: Targeting top UK G5 (University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, etc.) and top 30 US universities.
Major Orientation: STEM fields such as engineering, computer science, electronic information, and artificial intelligence.
2.Academically Excellent but Lacking Practical Experience
Academic Performance: Achieving excellent grades (e.g., A/A*), but lacking high-quality practical experience.
Application Pain Point: Aspiring for G5 offers, aiming to be a “problem solver” instead of a “textbook reciter.”
Traditional Practice Shortfall: Previous projects only stay at the “simulated experiment/visiting factory” level.
EPQ Demand: Need to complete engineering topics (such as smart home system design, intelligent community energy consumption optimization).
3. Pursuing Differentiated Competitiveness
Breakthrough Method: Use real enterprise experience to create a “high-fit” application image.
Through Industrial Project Participation: Enhance PS (Personal Statement) competitiveness.
Career Planning: Clearly define engineering/computer majors, receive technical enlightenment from industry insiders. Hope to determine career directions (such as chip design, software development) through enterprise practice.
4. Suitable Student Traits
Ability Requirements: Have basic programming/circuit knowledge (like Python, C language). Show strong interest in fields such as IoT and smart homes.
Attitude Traits: Strong self-learning ability, willing to accept industrial project challenges. Pay attention to details, able to complete complex tasks under engineer guidance.

Project Suitability Description
A-Level Students: Directly connect to the EPQ course (accounting for 30% of the weight in Oxbridge applications), providing enterprise data support and patent endorsement.
IB Students: Meet the CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) requirements and obtain high-value practical certifications.
AP Students: Demonstrate interdisciplinary application abilities through industrial-level projects (such as integrating physics and computer knowledge).
Internship Goal: multi-dimensional gains
Internship Goal: Multi-dimensional Gains
Knowledge and Skill Cultivation
Let trainees comprehensively learn cutting-edge concepts and basic theoretical knowledge of the Internet of Things (IoT), and understand industry trends. Master professional skills such as IoT hardware and circuit design, software programming, gateway and cloud platform. For example, learn to identify common electronic components, use IoT programming languages to write programs, and master the system architecture of smart homes, laying a solid foundation for trainees' in-depth study and practice in the IoT field.
Assist University Applications
Provide internship opportunities for trainees aged 16–18 who aspire to apply for top UK universities, and issue internship certificates. With the practical experience accumulated and internship certificates obtained in the project, help trainees enhance their background competitiveness when applying for top UK universities, enrich their personal resumes (CV), and increase the chance of being admitted by prestigious universities.
Comprehensive Quality Enhancement
Through team collaboration tasks and communication-sharing activities in the project, exercise trainees' team collaboration ability, communication ability, and problem-solving ability. For example, in IoT project development training and enterprise practice, trainees need to complete tasks in groups and jointly solve technical problems encountered, thus achieving a comprehensive improvement of personal comprehensive quality to better adapt to the future study life in UK universities.
