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. | ||||||||||
