PURPOSE
The purpose of the project module is to introduce the student to moving from design requirements in a given case to a functional interactive system, where the focus is on using opportunities in a specific programming environment. The goal is to develop a fully functional interactive prototype, which must be tested in relation to the requirements in a design proposal. The project module is based on one or more specific cases.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • must be able to demonstrate knowledge of the design and construction of an interactive system, including the use of possibilities in a specific programming environment for the realization of a number of set design requirements

Skills

  • must be able to implement an interactive system including using and understanding concepts, structures and facilities in a programming environment to construct a well-structured system
  • must be able to carry out systematic testing of the system's functionality in relation to the set design requirements
  • must be able to justify the design and construction of the interactive system in relation to the set design requirements

Competences

  • must be able to translate design requirements into a functional interactive system, and be able to reflect on possibilities and limitations in programming environments
