Electronic System Design, Project

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 elements from design thinking, systems engineering methodology, and other relevant tools for system development and innovation.

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.
• Take into account factors that are relevant for an engineer who is designing and implementing a technological solution.
• 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.

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