Course Aims | ||||||||||
This experiential and integrated course, designed for Year 3 or Year 4 CSCI undergraduate students (Year 2 students with CGPA 3.00 or above will also be considered), aims to: (1) systematically guide students to integrate the content of different courses across the semesters into a coherent body of knowledge, and then (2) apply this body of knowledge to solve real-world problems, with an emphasis on leadership and teamwork training. Students will learn research methodologies and design thinking through case-studies of published papers, past proposals, competition entries or entrepreneurial ideas on real-world problems, before identifying their own research questions. They will then conduct a small research project in an attempt to provide scientific or technical solutions to these problems. Given the complex nature of real-world problems, students will be encouraged to build multi-disciplinary teams for these research projects. Using a student-centred pedagogy, this course combines project-based learning with course integration, interdisciplinary connections, teamwork and communication. | ||||||||||
