LEARNING OUTCOMES
Knowledge
After completing the course, the students will be able to describe what activities are required for developing a design concept with functioning electronic prototype. They are able to outline what kinds of electronic and software components are needed for creating a functioning prototype. They will also be able to explain what kinds of tools are needed in the process.
Experience
After completing the course, the students will have an experience of a real collaborative project in creating a functioning electronic prototype. They will also have an experience in contextually grounding the idea and evaluation of their prototype as well as in presenting their design concept with a functioning electronic prototype. Furthermore, the students will have experience in producing online documentation of their project.
Skills
After completing the course, the students are able to conduct a concept design project for creating electronic products by using a high-level prototyping platform. They will also be able to support their process with appropriate prototyping tools.
