PURPOSE       
That the student learns how to use the programming and associated model formation in problem solving. The aim is also to gain additional experience in problem-oriented project work in a group in natural progression from 1. Semester

JUSTIFICATION  
The project work focuses on acquiring skills in programming and related modelling for problem solving. Project work must thus ensure that students achieve a common foundation of programming that can be used in following semesters. Project work must incorporate essential concepts about algorithms, data structures and/or computer networks. The project work also focuses on gaining experience with problem-oriented project work related to programming

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Algorithmic concepts relevant to project problem solving
• Distributed solutions in computer networks relevant to project problem solving
• concepts, structures and facilities in the programming language used
• Testing of applications, including unit testing

Skills

• Identify and define a problem within a given area
   
• Designing a well-structured solution
   
• Implement a larger, high-quality programme
   
• Incorporate concepts and techniques in the field of algorimic and computer networks that are relevant to the project;
   
• Test the program to ensure that the program is correct
   
• Use version control to manage the application's parts in the development process

• be able to understand and explain the concept of project management

Competences

• Identify a problem and, within this issue, formulate and defend a problem that can be solved by the use of programming;
   
• Prepare a model that can be used to solve the selected problem
   
• Complete the work to a running and demonstrable programme
   
• Describe how the program solves a formulated problem within the context of the problem
   
• Integrating relevant social and social aspects of solutions in the field of computer science and software technology;
   
• Describe, reflect on and analyse the experience gained with problem-oriented project work in a group

Type of instruction

Project work supported by the courses on the semester and digital learning resources in test, version control and program design. In the middle of the project period, a status seminar is held where the project team presents its problem formulation, work results and experience with the workflow

Extent and expected workload

The student is expected to spend 27.5 hours per ECTS, which for this activity means 412.5 hours.
