Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The module adds to the knowledge obtained in 1^st and 2^nd Semester.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have knowledge about the advantages and practical limitations of autonomous systems deployed in at least one application area.
• Must have knowledge of the scientific basis and possible engineering solutions for the specific application area.

Skills

• Must be able to make a requirement specification for the implementation of autonomous systems in a given situation.
• Must be able to seek out and develop a solution and present it in the form of sketches, diagrams, drawings and virtual, as well as physical, prototypes.
• Must be able to justify the benefits of a developed solution 

• Must be able to independently plan and carry out a development on basis of a given problem.
• Must be able to choose and apply relevant methods and tools.

Competences

• Must be able to devise how a relatively complex autonomous system can be specified, designed, managed and implemented, and in a professional manner to prove this.
• Must have the ability to assess important impacts, such as material flows, equipment or asset utilization, and other economic aspects, of the solution.
• Must be able to demonstrate engineering skills within the implementation and/or deployment of autonomous systems and to display their ability to perform engineering work.
• Must be able to take responsibility for their own professional development.
