Course contents

The term «clinic» is used to indicate that the course represents a transition from learning in an academic context and the practical experiences provided through working processes in the health industry or health technology related research laboratories. Students work in teams of 3-5 members, applying their creativity, knowledge and skills in solving specific development projects. Each group is advised by a teaching assistant, a computer science faculty member, and a liaison in cases where the project arises from an external collaborative sponsor.

Projects may be proposed by computer science faculty members, by department research faculty working on relevant projects, or by external collaborative organizations.

Successfully concluded projects will deliver well-functioning code in addition to written presentations of the project task, proposed solution, project notes, in a concluding report.

Project themes may be defined within a broad spectrum of computer science of health technology solutions.
