• CD640E Introduction to IoT (15 credits)
• In addition to the formal entry requirements, the student is expected to have knowledge from the course CD644E Innovation and Business Models for IoT (7.5 credits)

The course is part of the degree requirements for a Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering (specialisation IoT)

The aim of the course is to prepare the student for professional work through the combination of applying knowledge and concepts from previous components of the study programme to develop a prototype of an IoT product or service, teamwork and collaboration in groups of different composition, and deepening their knowledge in the field of IoT through the project work.

The students work as part of a group on an IoT innovation project formulated by a teacher from the department, a collaborating company, or developed by the group itself with the support of a supervisor. Societal aspects related to factors such as sustainability and gender equality must be taken into account during the project work. Students document their work in a final report and oral presentation. In addition, the students are required to critically review another project through an oral discussion and examination when the project is presented.

Knowledge and understanding

Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able to:

1. demonstrate in-depth knowledge in a specialised area of IoT.

Competence and skills

Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able to:

2. as part of a group, carry out an innovation project, and in this demonstrate the ability to work as part of a team and collaborate with other project members,

3. develop an innovative prototype of an IoT product or service, taking into account people's conditions and needs, as well as societal aspects related to, for example, sustainability and gender equality,

4. use appropriate methods in a professional manner to carry out an innovation project,

5. systematically integrate previous and new knowledge to analyse, evaluate and manage an IoT innovation project,

6. plan and carry out an innovation project in the chosen field within a predetermined time frame, and

7. report results, as well as knowledge and arguments, related to the project work both orally and in writing, nationally and internationally, and in dialog with different groups.

Judgement and approach

Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able to:

8. critically examine innovation projects in the chosen specialised area, with regard to, among other things, social, economic and environmental aspects, and

9. identify their personal needs for further knowledge in the specialised area and take responsibility for their continuous learning.

Classroom sessions, seminars, project supervision, group and individual project work, and self-study.

The following are required to pass the course

• passing grade on project proposal (2.5 credits, Pass/Fail) (Intended learning outcomes 2, 6, 8, 9)
• passing grade on project report (10 credits, UA) (Intended learning outcomes 1–7, 9)
• passing grade on oral presentation, student reviewer work and seminar (2.5 credits, UA) (Intended learning outcomes 1, 7, 8)

For all assessments, the materials must be presented in a manner that makes it possible to discern individual performance.

The final grade corresponds to the grade of the project report.

Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).

If a course is no longer offered, or has undergone significant changes, the students must be offered two opportunities for re-examination based on the syllabus that applied at the time of registration, for a period of one year after the changes have been implemented. The syllabus is a translation of a Swedish source text.

If a student has a Learning support decision, the examiner has the right to provide the student with an adapted test, or to allow the student to take the exam in a different format. The syllabus is a translation of a Swedish source text.
