General Information

Depth of study relative to the degree requirements: First cycle, in-depth level of the course cannot be classified
Mandatory for: IDA3
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish

Aim

The purpose of the course is to further develop and deepen the student's experiences from previous project courses, to expand their practical skills in developing software prototypes based on set requirements and thus prepare the student for industrial projects in their future professional activities. During the course students will gain experience from working with real-world or semi-real projects.

Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to explain and use central concepts related to agile development and project management
• be able to explain and use basic concepts related to design principles, design process, usability and user interface

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to design, test, build and evaluate a system in the field of computer technology, based on a project task
• be able to make an assessment of the project process
• be able to document and evaluate the project in a written report
• be able to use acquired knowledge to justify design choices and design solutions in the project task
• be able to use heuristics or design principles as a basis for evaluating a (digital) user interface

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to work and show cooperation skills in a group context
• be able to choose between and argue for the choice between different tools for project management
• demonstrate the ability to handle a complex question / assignment and, in cooperation with the client and supervisor, break it down into sub-problems and prioritize these
• be able to obtain and evaluate information to solve problems in the field of computer technology
• show ability to adapt the design of a digital user interface to the target group

Contents

The course contains introductory lectures and seminars on project management and agile project management. The major part of the course consists of work with the project where the students have to design, build and test a system in the field of computer engineering, in parallel with this process being documented. The process is documented with a log book, and is summarized and evaluated in a written report. The learning takes place through a mixture of lectures, workshops, supervision and project work in groups.

Examination details

Grading scale: UG - (U, G) - (Fail, Pass)
Assessment:

The examination consists of a larger project assignment that is examined through process documentation, a working demonstrator in software and a written report. For a passed course, a pass is also required on the submission tasks, both individual tasks and group tasks. Introductory lecture, guest lectures and joint project activities are compulsory. During the course, on-site active group participation in workshops and supervision sessions as well as active individual responsibility and commitment to the project work are expected.

If the project as a whole is not approved after the end of the course, individual re-examination can be applied. In cases where a group member does not contribute sufficiently to the joint project, supplementary assignments may be required after the course is completed. If the deficiencies are very significant, the project part of the course must be redone in its entirety the following year.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
