ICT System Engineering and Rapid Prototyping

The course introduces students to think and act as software engineer in TB context. The course integrated theory and practical work by developing a software prototype as final deliverable using the theory and practice behind software engineering, requirements formulating, and prototype assembling. Students are able to rapid prototype a functional software using low-code application. For this deliverable, the course presents and compare the most common software approaches, teaches how to develop diagrams using Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagrams, and, how to differentiate the most common programming paradigms. Finally the resulting prototype should be evaluated within the broader societal context.

The course assessment is be composed of three parts:

Summative assignment: 30% of the final grade,

Exam:

- Part I - UML Modeling: 30% of the final grade

- Part II - System engineering: 40% of the final grade

- Summative Assignment : Submission via Brightspace + Student video presentations

- Exam: On campus Computer Exam (via ANS)

Passing grade:

To pass the course, the average grade of the three parts (Summative assignments + Exam Part I + Exam Part II)

needs to be 5.8 or higher. Moreover, each part needs to have a grade of 5 or higher.

The lectures are in English, however the student has the right to take the examination in Dutch. The student needs to contact the module manager to arrange for the exam in Dutch.
