Course overview and goals
Run a project to find a social problem, to propose a solution, and to develop a system that solves the social problem and provides the social value through group collaboration. The project may involve not only software development but also hardware development. Learning of project management is also an important element.
Course description and aims
Through this course, students are expected to gain the skills to:
1) Find and analyze social problems; propose a solution; design and implement required system through group collaboration.
2) Efficiently communicate technical issues among group members.
3) Plan and manage the progress of the project.
4) Give effective presentation for the project.
Keywords

- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
Class flow
Groups of several students are formed. Each group sets a target problem and carry out a project for analyzing, designing, and implementing a system that solves the problem. Each group presents the result at the theme-setting, interim, and final presentations.
