Teaching methods

Students are partitioned in teams of 2 to 4. They meet weekly  in the Lab.
Tutors transfer the knowledge supporting the design activity with hands-on demonstrations.
Eventually each team selects or proposes a project. The project is implemented in the lab with tutor support.

This short course aims to set up a harmonized  "team-of-teams"   , whith intra-team and inter-team co-operation, addressing a common project.

Assessment methods

Students in groups of 2-4 are invited to define their own ecosystem of interacting objects and will then design an application supported by such ecosystem.

The final examination consists of a joint demonstration and an individual discussion about the proposed project. A short report is required by each team.

Teaching tools

Activity is carried out in a Lab.
