Learning outcomes

After the course, students shall be able to:

Knowledge and understanding

• motivate and explain how small-scale projects should be organized to carry out development or research in computer engineering or science
• describe common engineering processes and how a project is carried out from start to finish
• reflect about the connections between the practical project work and supporting theory from literature

Skills and abilities

• create and present a convincing project proposal based on an internal or external question
• plan, execute, organize, verify, and deliver a practical development project
• present, demonstrate, or document achieved results in a clear and well motivated way
• motivate selected methods and approaches in comparison to other alternatives and related work in the field

//Attitudes and values://

• show understanding in the value of careful planning to achieve consistent and better-quality results in a given time frame
• display insight in the validity and generalization of achieved results

Entry requirements

60 credits in Computer engineering or Computer Science or equivalent

The forms of assessment of student performance

Project in group with written and oral examination. Individual written project reflection reports.

Course contents

In the course, students carry out a practical development project supported by lectures and seminars. The theory seminars cover themes related to project management and software engineering, such as project planning, agile methods, requirements engineering, architectural design, implementation, and verification and validation. In the practical part of the course, students carry out a small-scale development or research project, ideally interacting with external stakeholders. Here, students work in groups and apply applicable knowledge from theory and relevant methods and tools.
