Aim
The course gives you the opportunity to apply knowledge in computer angineering in project form as a quantitative expansion of previous courses. The purpose can also be described as creating experience and confidence in creating applications or functionality in computer engineering. The purpose is also to train in following a project model.
Course objectives
Upon completion of the course the student should be able to:
- integrate and synthesize knowledge by planning, implementing and critically reflecting on an applied project,
- critically analyze and evaluate technologies and methods to identify and justify the most appropriate solution to a complex technical problem,
- create and optimize a working solution by applying advanced technical methods and systematically documenting the development process and its results,
- evaluate project results by analyzing them from technical, ethical, and sustainability perspectives and reflecting on their long-term consequences,
- communicate and defend the results by presenting and discussing the work both in writing and orally in an academic and professional context,
- critically reflect on their own learning process by identifying strengths, weaknesses, and areas for development.
Content
The course includes in-depth, project-specific elements based on theories, models and/or experimental methods. The content is defined by an individual course plan drawn up together with the supervisor.
