The purpose of the project course is to prepare the student for professional work through the combination of applying knowledge and concepts from previous parts of the programme to developing a prototype of an IoT product and, through the project work, deepen their knowledge in the area of IoT. The course also aims to train and develop students' teamwork skills and increase their awareness of how to jointly develop innovative and successful products.

The student will work as part of a team on an IoT innovation project. The participants will work together to develop an innovative solution to a real-world challenge. Societal aspects related to, for example, sustainability and gender equality will be considered during the project work. The project group is jointly responsible for ensuring that the project is presented and documented in an appropriate way, for example through pitches, product presentations, result descriptions, project planning, division of responsibilities and experiences/reflections.

To pass the course, the student must be able to:

1. Describe and provide an explanation for a specialised area within IoT.

2. Describe and explain how social relations, conflict management and leadership affect the project process.

To pass the course, the student must be able to:

3. Carry out an innovation project as part of a group, demonstrating ability to work in a team and collaborate with other project members.

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

5. Use appropriate methods in a professional manner to carry out an innovation project.

6. Systematically integrate previous and new knowledge to analyse, evaluate and manage an IoT innovation project.

7. Plan and carry out an innovation project in the chosen field within a predetermined timeframe.

8. 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.

To pass the course, the student must be able to:

9. Critically examine innovation projects in the chosen specialised area.

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

Lectures, workshops and seminars, as well as project supervision and individual project work.

The course is assessed through:

The student is expected to search, evaluate and use relevant subject-, project- and practice-specific literature on their own, or in consultation with the teacher or supervisor.

Literature related to the different areas covered by the course will be published during the course on the course learning platform.

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.

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.
