10. Course Goals (acquired competencies): The aim of the course is to introduce students to the approach and method of solving engineering problems, to present the steps of solving: problem analysis, conceptual solution, choice of technology (hardware and software platform), simulation of the solution, implementation, testing and analysis of the obtained results. The basic focus is on understanding the upper mentioned, regardless of the used technologies. The course is a practicum that illustrates the process of thinking and working in which students are not focused on studying a specific field or technology. |
11. Course Syllabus: Definition of problem number 1 and design of solution. Basic Python syntax and simulation of problem solution. Introduction to the Arduino hardware platform. Software solution in Python. Visualization of results. Problem number 2 and design of solution. Basic Matlab syntax and simulation of solution. Introduction to hardware accessories for Arduino. Software solution in Matlab-compatible tool. Visualization of results. |
12. Learning methods: Blended teaching method: lecturing, supported by presentations and visualization of concepts, active participation of students through lab exercises, available e-learning materials, project work. |
