Unfortunately, no reservations were found for the realization New and Emerging Technologies YTFWV100-0K0Z1. It's possible that the reservations have not yet been published or that the realization is intended to be completed independently.
Objective
You will learn at least one state-of-the-art technology and its applications in the chosen technology area. This includes the following learning outcomes:
1.Investigations
- ability to investigate the application of new and emerging technologies at the forefront of your specialisation area
- ability to identify, locate and obtain required data
- ability to conduct searches of literature, to consult and critically use databases and other sources of information, to carry out simulation in order to pursue detailed investigations and research of complex technical issues;
2.Lifelong Learning
- ability to engage in independent life-long learning;
- ability to undertake further study autonomously.
Content
We are living in a constantly changing world. New technologies emerge so rapidly that everybody has a challenge how to learn new things. The course contents are based on your own choice. You can pick any topic for which you choose virtual lectures (webinars) or participate courses offered by your company or other organisations (e.g. through MOOCs such as Udemy or Coursera) as long they are dealing with new and emerging technologies.
Assessment criteria, approved/failed
Grading Scale: Pass/fail.
For passing, you need to 1) deliver the learning report, which contains at least 16 pages (max 32 pages, approximately 5000 words) of lessons learned, and 2) a short (ca. 5-10 minutes) summarising video about the chosen technology. The key concepts and main findings (e.g., how to apply the chosen technology) should be presented clearly, following the reporting guidelines (e.g., adding references to previous work). If text is copied from elsewhere, there should be the corresponding references.
Fail (0): The student does not meet the minimum course criteria. We use an anti-plagiarism system (Turnitin), and the total amount of text found elsewhere (including text generated by AI) must be less than 20%.
Qualifications
No prior knowledge is required.
