Objectives
Developing designskills and learning designmethodology.
Exploring practical engineering.
Discovering the interaction and interference between the different courses
Learning to work as a team
Learning the basics of projectmanagement
Learning to report, to communicate and to make a presentation.
Topics
Teams of students design a small system (in the field of electronics, informatics, ICT, ...) in which several disciplines and different aspects of electronics system design will occur. They set up a plan and design the system from concept to practical realisation and testing. Afterwards, the system wil be reported, presented and demonstrated.
Prerequisites
Curriculum Bachelor Electronics-ICT
Final Objectives
To be able to analyse, design and make abstractions at system level
To be able to take into account non-technical aspects such as ergonomy, quality, safety, sustainability, strategy and economics
To be able to work in a project oriented way and to report in a scientific language appropriate to the field
Materials used
handouts introductory sessions about projectmanagement
Study costs
Handouts
Small cost to realise the design (depending on the nature of the project)
Study guidance
Coaching by the staff of the electronics engineering unit
Teaching Methods
Introductory sessions on projectmanagement: presentation
Project
Assessment
1) Permanent evaluation
2) Result-driven evaluation + evaluation of the presentation
3) Self- and peerassessment
A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item. However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items) , he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course, the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less.
For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
