Run a project to find a social problem, to propose a solution, and to develop a system that solves the problem through group collaboration. Object oriented method may be employed for the system analysis, design and implementation. The project may involve not only software development but also hardware development. Learning of project management is also an important element.
Through this course, students are expected to gain the skills to:
1) Find and analyze social problems; propose a solution; design and implement required system through group collaboration.
2) Efficiently communicate technical issues among group members.
3) Plan and manage the progress of the project.
4) Give effective presentation for the project.
