| Aim: To work in project is an important part of an engineer's tasks. In this term you will -Learn to work in a project organization and gain knowledge about project planning and project management. -Develop experience appling theoretical knowledge in practical project work. -Develop experience working together with people from different disciplines. Specifically, students of Business Administration and Psychology participate in parts of the project work. -Develop experience with many aspects of a project. Besides solving technical problems, you must understand economic aspects and how a product influences the people in an organization. -Achieve the ability to reflect upon the development and implementation of new technology from an ethical point of view. This means that questions like what shall be delegated to automatic systems, who is responsible, how to use the product and what is the responsibility of the engineer, will be considered. -Develop basic knowledge in different subjects as Computer Hardware and Architecture, Business Administration, System Usability Issues, Numerical Algorithms, Ethics and Psychology. -Develop experience with documentation and presentaion of project work. |

| Course contents: -Computer Hardware and Architecture : Design of a control unit, i.e. a simple computer. Design of hardware and software for a computer controlled robot. -Business Administration: Basic marketing, Capital budgeting and Management accounting. -Ethics: Methodical aspects and decision theory. Normative ethical theories and principles. Technical development and moral responsibility. Computer ethical problems. Ethical problems concerning business. Ethical criteria for technical choices. Engineers profesional ethics -System Usability Issues: Designing interactive products with good qualities-in-use. -Numerical Algorithms: Basic theoretical and practical knowledge of how to construct simple Numerical Algorithms in order to to get results with sufficient accuracy in a reasonably short time. -The topics cover the basic ideas of: Error Estimation, Computer Arithmetic, Nonlinear Equations, Interpolation and Splines, Numerical Linear Algebra and Ordinary Differential Equations. -Psychology: Basic knowledge of the structure and processes of work groups is presented. Based on their own experiences the students are also given the opportunities to explore the way in which psychological knowledge and the support from behavioral intervention methods can facilitate the work of their own project teams. Process consultation resources are therefore offered to the teams by third-year students of psychology. -Communication studies: Text revision and criticism. |
