Course content
The field of mobile system development changes rapidly. Thus the topics covered need to be flexible and are subject to change. In this course the topics covered include, but are not limited to:
-Strengths and weaknesses of mobile/wearable technologies
-Limitations of mobile/wearable devices available on the market
-Programming Design Patterns for mobile/wearable systems
-Layout and UI designs and practices for mobile screens (phones, tablets, wearables, Internet of Things)
-Using alternative input interfaces
-Sensor integration - GPS, accelerometer/gyro, tilt, magnetic field, compass and camera
-Raw data filtering and signal processing
-OpenGL ES - 2D/3D graphics on mobile devices
-Managing multiple product SKU's
-OS-specific development issues: Apple's iOS and Google's Android
-Mobile networking and technology stack

Learning methods and activities
-Lectures (also tutorials and exercises)
-Web-based learning (online resources)
-Internal assignments
-Project work
Additional course information
-Online resources and MOOC-supported learning are used in this course
-Project work: student will receive an overview of the mobile development process on a range of devices, but will select one for in depth study (preference given to Android). Some mobile devices will be available for testing, but it would be beneficial for the student to have access to a personal mobile device, for example, iOS which requires an iOS-enabled device, or and Android 4.2+.
Note: Passing the internal portfolio is required to sit the exam.
Further on evaluation
Re-sit examination:
Re-sit for the written exam in August. Portfolio of internal assignments must be taken the next time the course is run.
Forms of assessment:
Portfolio of internal assignments (60%)
-Final, written exam 3 hours (40%)
-Both portfolio and written exam must be passed in order to pass the course.
Passing the internal portfolio is required to sit the exam. The grades for each of the two parts are valid the following academic year.
