• Bachelor of Science in Engineering (at least 180 credits) or a bachelor’s degree in computer science or related fields such as computer engineering, computer and information science, software engineering, informatics, telecommunications or electrical engineering.
• At least 15 credits in programming, system development or equivalent.
• Equivalent of English 6 in secondary school.
• A minimum of a passing grade for the course: Introduction to IoT (DA640E)
• Participation in the course also requires knowledge obtained from the course: Innovation and Business Models for IoT (DA644E)

The course is part of the master’s programme Computer Science: Internet of Things and the main field of computer science, and may be included in the degree requirements for a master’s degree (120 credits) in computer science.

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.

**Knowledge and understanding
**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.

Skills and abilities
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.

Judgement and approach
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:

• Project proposal (2.5 credits, UG) – learning outcomes 1, 3, 7, 9, 10
• Project report (10 credits, UA) – learning outcomes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
• Oral presentation and discussion (2.5 credits, UG) – learning outcomes 1, 2, 8, 9, 10.

• Dawson, C. (2015). Projects in computing and information systems. A student’s guide (3rd edition). Pearson

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.

The syllabus is a translation of a Swedish source text.
