Brief description

The "Digital Lab" module enables students to explore and implement their own ideas for digital solutions within a semester. Building on the previously completed compulsory modules "Digitalization and Programming" and "Problem Solving with Artificial Intelligence", this module offers a practical platform for applying and deepening the acquired knowledge. Students are encouraged and empowered to independently develop and implement innovative solutions, with necessary knowledge components provided throughout the semester as needed. By combining theoretical foundations with practical application, the "Digital Lab" module enhances not only the technical skills but also the creative and problem-solving abilities of the students. This module prepares students for the challenges of digital transformation in various professional contexts and strengthens their ability to conceive and implement innovative solutions.

Teaching and learning outcomes

The content of the "Digital Lab" module is based on the individual ideas of the students and their specific requirements. Typically, the following topics may be included:

  • Integration of sensors and actuators
  • Use of AI models to solve specific problems within the planned application
  • Utilization of cloud services in the context of building a software application
  • Building and utilizing a database
  • Development and implementation of a web-based user interfaces

In addition to these content areas, the module emphasizes the planning of a digital application and agile project management.
