Enquiry based learning of tools; the course does not prescribe a process or tool but leads students to gain experience in developing a substantial application in order to motivate the teaching of the software development process in the 2nd year

Assesement : Presentation

Use of commercial CAD tools to design and simulate simple hardware.

Assesement : Lab work

The lab work of this course, as well as the demonstrated examples, are carried out in python using the following tools: Jupyter notebooks, matplotlib.pyplot, numpy, pandas, scikit-learn. The students cannot carry out the labs without effectively deploying these tools. This is only assessed in practical lab sessions; it is not examined.
