Offered by

ICT Engineering

ECTS

Prerequisites

Main purpose

The purpose of the project is to evolve the student's ability to solve a relevant Software Engineering problem and document the solution. The more specific problems chosen to be dealt with shal be connected to the student's background from her/his home university.

In a group, students must be able to analyse, design, implement and test complex problems and be able to carry out well-documented and tested solutions.

Knowledge

After having completed this course, the students must master the knowledge about :

- searching and scoping relevant project information.
- project and teamwork planning.
- communication and documentation skills.
- testing.

Skills

After having completed this course, the student must master to:

- Identify and justify problems and their context.
- Select and argue for choice of method and reflect critical on methods.
- Find and assess relevant literature within the problem domain.
- Present the result for an audience of engineers.

Competences

After having completed this course, the students must be able to:

- Describe and delimit a large Software Engineering Project
- Select and use relevant theories and methods to solve the problem
- Plan and structure the project within the project time frame
- Initiate the preliminary steps in a system development process, leading to a clearly defined requirements capture, use cases as well as object and behavior analysis.
- Work successfully in a project group with the objective of solving a well-defined engineering problem.

Topics

Teaching methods and study activities

Supervision, theory and independent work, project documentation and presentation.

The projects should be made in groups of minimum 3 students.

Primarily the study projects should be based on a problem-oriented project model within a certain theme and be carried out according to the guidelines in “2019 Semester and Bachelor Project Report Template - VIA Software Engineering Guidelines.docx”.
