ITPE3200 Webapplikasjoner Emneplan

Studentene skal tilegne seg kunnskap og innsikt i aktuelle teknologier og teknikker som benyttes i næringslivet til utvikling av avanserte web-applikasjoner. Emnet vil være et nyttig fundament for studenter som ønsker å arbeide med web-applikasjoner i forbindelse med bacheloroppgaver.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

The entrepreneurship project: The student will carry out an IT project in collaboration with a relevant start-up company, individually or in groups of maximum five students. Completion of the course requires a placement in an IT start-up company corresponding to two days a week over a 12-week period. If the project is carried out during the summer, the work must correspond to four days a week over a six-week period.

OsloMet will help individual or groups of students to get in touch with a start-up company that has a suitable project. The company must provide an approved IT entrepreneurship project and a competent supervisor. Furthermore, OsloMet will provide an internal supervisor at OsloMet. The students will develop a prototype for a product that is relevant for the start-up company, or develop and implement new functionality in the technology of the start-up company.

In addition to the projects on offer, students can find their own projects within a relevant company, public organization or nonprofit. In this case, it is the student's responsibility to find a supervisor for the project within the external organization. All student-initiated projects must be approved by the course coordinator before the start of the project.

The course will only run if there is a sufficient number of students registered. Projects are subject to availability; students who have DATA3710-90 as a mandatory course on their study plan will be prioritised in the event of limited projects.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

• has acquired a basic overview of financing and support possibilities for start-up companies
• has acquired insight into innovation processes and technological development from idea to prototype
• understand the role and importance of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals in the development of new technological solutions.

Skills

The student is capable of:

• developing a product or service from the idea, design and development stages through to implementation and evaluation of a prototype
• independently completing an IT project within the framework of a start-up company and mastering basic issues that characterise entrepreneurship processes
• communicating, in written and oral form, the technical and business-related issues of relevance to the theme of the project, including the project plan, project activities and results, to an audience that may or may not be technologically proficient
• developing new solutions that explicitly address one or several of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals

General competence

The student is capable of:

• using technical principles to solve one or more problems of relevance to the business sector

Supervision sessions with an external and/or internal supervisor. The students will work alone or in groups of two to five students on an IT project in a start-up company.

Projects are selected/distributed at the start of the semester.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• A project outline that describes how the group will organise their work on the project.
• A standard learning agreement must be entered into between the start-up company and the student(s), and this must be approved by the internal supervisor before the project can begin.
• Three meeting minutes from supervisory meetings during the project period.
• An oral mid-term presentation, individual or in groups (max 5 students), 10 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A.

The deadlines for submitting the project outline and minutes of the meetings will be presented in the teaching plan, which is made available at the beginning of the semester.

Written project report submitted at the end of the semester. Individually or in a group (max. 5 students), 4000 words (+/-10%).

In group work, the students' individual contributions should be reflected in the report. Normally, everyone in the group receives the same grade, but in exceptional cases, individual grades may be awarded based on the assessment of the project supervisor(s) and the head of the programme.

The exam result can be appealed.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.
