Full course description

Elective Module Project 2-2 > M2-2: Cybersec.&IoT-Ubiquitous Comp.&IoT

Course: Ubiquitous Computing & Internet of Things (period 5) +
Project: Project 2-2 Cybersecurity & IoT (semester 4, bachelor year 2)

Each elective module comprises an elective course, an elective project, and related skill classes.

Second year students choose one out of the three electives (Module Project 2-2) during semester 4.
 

Students work on a project assignment in small groups of about six students. The concrete assignment is defined by the students given some umbrella topics that match the courses in the curriculum. Students indicate their umbrella topic preference at the beginning of period 2.4. The group composition stays the same for the whole project and is based on the topic preferences of the students. A least regret algorithm is used to ensure that the overall regret is minimized. Throughout the project, the groups are guided  by a tutor with respect to the project management. In periods 2.4 and 2.5, the students work on the project, while also having to attend the courses of these periods. They meet their tutor approximately biweekly. In period 2.6, the students work three weeks full-time on the project and meet their tutor about twice a week.

The focus of this project lays on the project planning and communication of progress and results. During the project, the students have to hand in several deliverables such as a project plan after a few weeks from the start or the implemented code at the end of the project. Formative feedback sessions with the examiners on intermediate project plans will add to the quality of feedback the students receive. Presentations throughout the project will be used to communicate the progress to the examiners.
