Registration |
Sign up for study activities at STADS Online Student Service within the announced registration period, as you can see on the Study administration homepage. When signing up for study activities, please be aware of potential conflicts between study activities or exam dates. The planning of activities at Roskilde University is based on the recommended study programs which do not overlap. However, if you choose optional courses and/or study plans that goes beyond the recommended study programs, an overlap of lectures or exam dates may occur depending on which courses you choose. |

ACADEMIC CONTENT | |
Overall objective |
Specialization within one of the core specialization areas of the program. The student must acquire knowledge, skills and competences in order to translate theories, methods and solutions ideas into their own practice in relation to software development. 1) Specialization course with a focus area towards algorithms, programming frameworks and complex IT systems. 2) Specialization course with a focus area towards data science, artificial intelligence and business intelligence. 3) Specialization course with a focus area within e.g. internet of things, robotics and virtual technologies. |
Detailed description of content |
This course has an emphasis on technical aspects and development that relate to Physical Computing, Visualization and Interactive Experiences. The focus will be on acquiring knowledge about principles for designing systems that are highly interactive in that they can sense and respond to their environment. The course will include a theoretical as well as a practical part. The theoretical part will introduce core concepts and cover relevant literature, while the practical part will place this into contexts aiming at building prototypes of Physical Computing systems. Prototypes are developed by means of construction and programming using creative frameworks, selected libraries, physical devices and tools. The prototypes can for instance have input such as sensors measuring distance, motion, temperature or heart rate and output via visual effects, sound, light and motion. The Prototypes and Physical Computing systems in general provide the basis for developing interactive experiences for purposes such as story-telling, entertainment, learning, gaming or art. |
Course material and Reading list |

Evaluation and feedback |
Evaluation form to be filled out (anonymously) plus open discussion on the last course day |
Programme |
The course will have the form of seminars with an active learning style, i.e., introduction to theory in combination with hands-on in-class exercises, together with assignments and peer-reviewing. The assignments will be subject to review and peer-review. The assignments will be a mix of individual and group assignments. |

Form of examination |
Individual oral exam based on a written product..
The character limit of the written product is maximum 48.000 characters, including spaces. The character limits include the cover, table of contents, bibliography, figures and other illustrations, but exclude any appendices. Time allowed for exam including time used for assessment: 20 minutes. The assessment is an overall assessment of the written product(s) and the subsequent oral examination. Permitted support and preparation materials for the oral exam: All. Assessment: 7-point grading scale. Moderation: Internal co-assessor. |
