Course content

This course is organized as an innovation project. The students will create a prototype based on electronics to a problem given by an external partner using design thinking and systems engineering methodology.

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

  • Detailed learning outcomes depend on the specific problems in the innovation project.

Skills:

  • Apply the knowledge from the first three semesters to design electronic systems using microcontrollers, sensors and actuators.
  • Ability to document technically and for a general audience how a problem is solved by a self-developed electronic circuit.

General competence:

  • A beginning identification with the role of technological problem solver and innovator through utilization of design thinking and systems engineering methodology.
  • Team work skills.
  • Ability to reflect on own work and electronics in general in a sustainability perspective.

Learning methods and activities

Project work in groups. Dialogue based learning methods combined with lectures. Guest lectures and excursions.

Compulsory assignments
