Introduction

[Emnet går ikke høsten 2024]

Studentene skal gjennomføre et prosjekt innenfor et gitt overordnet tema. Temaet vil være inspirert av samfunnsaktuelle eller fremtidige utfordringer og vil variere fra år til år. Innenfor temaet kan studentene definere egne problemstillinger eller hente inspirasjon fra en liste med forhåndsdefinerte problemstillinger. Sluttproduktet skal være en fysisk prototype, og design skal gjøres tilgjengelig som open source i løpet av semesteret. Studentene vil tilegne seg kunnskaper innen samarbeid, prosjektarbeid, materialbruk og rapid prototyping.

Studentene vil bli inndelt i grupper på en måte som legger til rette for tverrfaglig samarbeid. Verktøy, utstyr og materialer i OsloMet Makerspace står til studentenes disposisjon. Emnet har plass til 40 studenter.

Teaching and learning methods

Teaching is organized as four compulsory sessions, compulsory guidance, as well as voluntary courses and themed lectures.

The course begins with a mandatory kick-off meeting where practical information is given, the students are divided into groups and are assigned a project. Each group gets a supervisor who follows up the group and helps in the development of the finished product. The groups are put together in a way that facilitates interdisciplinary cooperation. Throughout the semester, courses and assemblies with relevant content for the assignment are offered. Tools, equipment and materials in OsloMet Makerspace are at the disposal of the groups.

During the first weeks, the students must narrow down the project description and deliver a list of measurable deliverables, as well as a proposed timeline and any needs for resources/training.

During the semester, the students will present their idea to the other groups. At the last assembly, the finished product is presented.

Course requirements

The following work requirements must be approved in order to be admitted for the exam:

• Compulsory participation in the meetings. Absence from the gatherings requires sick leave or prior approval.

• All students must attend at least three tutorials throughout the semester.

• Detailed project description according to template, as well as specification of necessary resources
