About the course
Course content
Each group receives a project assignment from an external client, encompassing all phases of a development project: preliminary analysis, requirements specification, design, implementation, and evaluation. Close collaboration with the external organization is essential throughout the process. Groups will submit a project report and deliver a final presentation and demonstration of a functional system to both the client and the examiner. The following days are mandatory: the course start day in the second week of the semester, scheduled common meetings and lectures, and weekly supervision sessions. Failure to attend these days may prevent students from completing the course.
