As an integrated part of the project work, the student must follow the Problem-Based Learning and project management workshop (1 ECTS)
A course on Computational Thinking is integrated into the project.
Learn to solve problems through a subset of computational thinking concepts (algorithm design, automation, and abstraction)
Understand agent-based techniques to computational thinking (formalization and simulation).
Basic introduction to concepts of computational thinking (decomposition, pattern recognition, and data representation)
Ability to read, understand, evaluate and potentially modify existing computational structures and data representations
Ability to formulate and decompose a problem into a series of ordered steps (algorithmic thinking)
Ability to read, understand, evaluate and potentially modify computational models/agent-based models
Ability to use abstractions and pattern recognition to represent a problem in new and different ways
Exercise computational-thinking-based problem-orientation by formulating problems in students’ bachelor domains with focus on problems, which can be addressed through computational thinking
Design computational models to address identified problems using computational thinking techniques
Project work, including:
Formulation, analysis and contribution to the resolution of a relevant problem within the theme of the project module
It is expected that the student uses 30 hours per ECTS, which for this activity means 300 hours
