Required preliminary courses

The most important teaching and learning methods for this course are individual work, discussions, oral presentation and tutoring.

If two or more students wish to work together on the portfolio degree project, a written application must be submitted to the Department of Product Design with the project description in the 3rd semester.

Learning outcomes

A grading scale of A (highest) to F (lowest) where A to E is a pass grade and F is a fail grade.

Teaching and learning methods

Two internal examiners will assess the oral exam. External examiner is used periodically

Course requirements

Grading scale

This course is made of two parts. Both parts give students fundamental scientific knowledge and skills that provide the scientific foundation for working with the two technological courses. The themes are important for enabling computer scientists to participate in discussions about technology and science. In addition, the work in this course will provide training in mathematical software and enable students to run calcuations.

Examiners

None.
