DATA3770 Helseteknologi-prosjekt Emneplan

Studentene gjennomfører et IT-prosjekt i samarbeid med et relevant helsefaglig miljø, for eksempel på Fakultet for Helsefag ved OsloMet, individuelt eller i gruppe på opp til fem studenter. Gjennomføringen av emnet forutsetter et opphold ved det aktuelle fagmiljøet tilsvarende to dager i uken over en 12-ukers periode.

Dersom prosjektet gjennomføres om sommeren skal oppholdet tilsvare 4 dager i uken over en 6-ukers periode.

Studentgruppen er ansvarlig for å finne et relevant prosjekt i samarbeid med en veileder hos et aktuelt fagmiljø. I tillegg får hver student/studentgruppe en intern veileder ved Institutt for IT.

Prosjekt kan utføres på sommeren. Valgemnet igangsettes forutsatt at det er et tilstrekkelig antall studenter som velger emnet.

A grading scale from A-F where A is the highest grade and F constitutes a fail.

This module looks at how we can become more aware of, and attentive to cultural dimensions when working as designers. It examines how such awareness can help to influence and form the basis for design processes and their outcomes. The module is intended to help students establish a general level of cultural understanding through approaching objects and design as forms of cultural expression, as well as looking at our projects and their roles in relation to broader cultural contexts and societal perspectives. The module aims to give students experience and knowledge in analyzing the different cultural contexts products are a part of, and how these in turn serve to influence design processes. The module also addresses communication, and the importance of this in terms of design processes, products and their dissemination.
