All aids are permitted, provided the rules for plagiarism and source referencing are complied with.

The content of the course will include the following topics: difference between grammar and writing style; effective linguistic choices for successful engineering communication; achieving readability and actionability in engineering documents; basic techniques for technical editing. The course will also cover the methods, strategies, and techniques for analyzing stylistic features of typical engineering texts.

Grade scale A-F.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used periodically.

It is highly recommended that the student has taken the courses Advanced Machine Learning and Deep Learning and/or Evolutionary AI and robotics. It is also recommended to have good programming skills, such as 20 ECTS of previous programming-focused subjects.

Introduction to modern methods, techniques and tools used in projects related to the course assignment. Lectures and tutorials will be given on the tools, laboratories and facilities available at OsloMet, and their use in relation to the given assignment text, specifications, design, verification, prototyping and development. A realistic project will then be carried out where participants work together as an "applied artificial intelligence development team".

The project involves the full process from specifications, programming, testing, verification and documentation.
