Examination arrangement

Course content

Based on the project carried out in IELS2002 Engineering Project II, the students get to brush up on increased complexity on all levels in this subject. It applies to the basic technology and development methodology for electronic system design, to sensors and actuators with associated electronic circuits, to the understanding and application of the microcontroller's instruction architecture and peripheral devices, and to the connectivity and interaction between the IoT node level and the layers above in the IoT system.

This is directly supported by the themes in parallel and previous subjects.

A larger Smart City solution will be designed, focusing on the sub-topic of smart sensor systems.

Some keywords: Learn to combine elements in larger projects. More independent project responsibility, more investigation on your own. Several modules must play together, complex requirements specification. More advanced analog solutions between sensors and the MCU. Environmental analysis. Sustainability. Financial management and investment.

Learning outcome

Knowledge

The candidate must understand

• how the subject matter that he/she learns in the parallel subjects can be translated into solutions to the challenges that he/she faces in the project

Skills

The candidate must be able to

• design and implement electronic systems as IoT-node-centered solutions of increased complexity in all stages and in the integration towards the layers above in the system, compared to the challenges in Engineering Project - II
• carry out basic environmental analyzes and reflect on the project's impact on relevant sustainability targets, and choose solutions accordingly.

General competence

The candidate must

• have established a thorough understanding of which elements are included in the project, both in the phase before it is started, during the course of the project, at the time of delivery, and afterwards.

Learning methods and activities

Assignments and lab exercises with submissions. Project work in groups with mile stone deliverables, as well as a final report and presentation for the rest of the class. In general, various forms of student active learning are planned. Guest lectures and other impulses from relevant industry/business and research. There will be a requirement for a certain number of approved submissions.

Compulsory assignments

• Compulsory attendance
• Assignment

Further on evaluation

The assessment in the subject takes place on the basis of submitted project reports. The number of reports and deadlines are given at the start of the semester. All the elements in the portfolio must be passed for a passing final result. It is compulsory to attend the course and some compulsory assignments. Number of assignments and deadlines are given at the start of the semester.

Specific conditions

Required previous knowledge

IELS2002 Ingeniørprosjekt II or equivalent.
