Objectives of the course

Learning outcome:

On completion of the course, the successful student is expected to have the following:

Knowledge:

  • The candidate will have knowledge in advanced programming in C++ (K2).
  • The candidate will have special knowledge in geometry and related mathematical spaces (K3).
  • The candidate will have basic knowledge about computer graphics (K1).
  • The candidate will have knowledge about simulation and ODE-solvers (K3).
  • The candidate know how to use programming libraries and API's (K2).

Skills:

  • The candidate will work independently with problems, by analysing the problem and make plans for solving them (S1).
  • The candidate will be able independently to make big and complex computer programs running on different platforms (S2).

General competence:

  • The candidate is influenced to maintain and develop curiosity and values such as openness, precision and the importance of separating between knowledge and opinions (GC1).
  • The candidate can communicate about academic issues, analysis and conclusions in the field of computer science by using the relevant terminology to communicate with (GC2).

Language of instruction and examination

English

Teaching methods

The subject is a project based course that gives 10 credits. It is distributed across two semesters (at least 6 weeks of work). There will be lessons distributed across the four weeks directed by the teacher. Most of the time will still be used for the project which is described on the subject's homepage.

Assessment

Form of assessment: Oral

Grouping: Individual

Grading will be done by using A-F grading scale, F is Fail. A re-sit exam will be arranged for this course.
