Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This is very much a hands-on approach to learning with three hours/week devoted to the development of practical and written skills. A further one hour per week is given over to a lecture program that introduces and develops the core principles of mobile systems. This work will build on the skills and knowledge gained in the prerequisite module – SET08114 Mobile applications development. In general, lectures are used to introduce bounded case studies in specific areas of mobile systems technology [LO 1] and the practical and tutorial work is used broaden and develop deeper understanding of the subject area [LO2-4]The teaching material is supported using a combination of handouts, tutorials and computer based resources. Student progress is monitored via the tutorials and practical exercises. Additionally, progress monitoring facilitates student feedback that is timely, appropriate and remedial. Moodle is used as the central repository for all courseware and is used to encourage discussion forums on current module issues as well as related topics and wider resources.The module is structured around three projects, the first two of which provide opportunities to become familiar with the required concepts, technologies and tools.During project 1, class will be divided into two separate groups, one of them working on Project 1/A and the other one working on Project 1/B.Project 1/A focuses on the design, development and operation of resourceconstrained hardware devices for sensing applications.Project 1/B focuses on the development of distributed mobile applications.Project 2 integrates these two areas and introduces the requirement for intensive communications between mobile and IoT device.Project 3 allows you to develop a system of your own design incorporating sensing and pervasive technologies using appropriate tools and techniques.

To Support formative feedback, the Software Engineering subject group utilise a lab based teaching approach across their provision. During these lab sessions, staff will discuss and evaluate student progress and provide feedback on how well they are progressing with their work. All modules in the subject group also require students to demonstrate their coursework on submission to provide further formative feedback on how the work could be improved.Additionally, at the end of Project 2, you will be encouraged to deliver a project report which will be assessed in preparation for your final report.
|
Before starting the development of your final projects, you will be required to outline your project idea in a proposal document, which will be assessed to verify your understanding of the hardware capabilities [LO1] alongside your ability to combine them in an appropriate system design [LO2].The project will verify your ability to deliver a working prototype for the design you previously proposed. This practical element requires a report description and a live demonstration. It is expected that you critically comment on your own results [LO2-4].Finally, you will share your report with your peers, critically comment on their results, and possibly draw some lessons learnt [LO4].
