| Summary |
|---|
The main motivation of this course is to teach students how to think about problems and their solutions like engineers. For today's industry is very typical to work in project teams. Each member of project team solves its part of project activities - understanding the assignment, decomposition of the problem, defining the interface of project activities, testing of results of particular steps, validation and testing solutions of solved project.
Students should learn by working in project teams how to solve simple projects (problems) in the application area defined by their study program. Students should learn how to think about the problems comprehensively, learn to understand the assignment of complex tasks, learn to share the workload in the project team, learn to systematically search for sources of information, to suggest set of project activities, assemble plan of project, synchronize the work of project team members, learn to manage the project team, learn to communicate in a project team, learn how to prepare a presentation of the project results.

The objective of the first half of the course is to familiarize students with the methodology of problem solving in the project team:
• Identification of personality types and project roles
• Benefits of solving problems in a project team
• Analysis of the assignment, work with information sources
• Tools for finding solution concept
• Tools for project planning
• Project management, synchronization process of project team members
• Documenting the problem solving
• Preparation of project results presentation
• Effective presentation of project results
These skills students will practice on typical small projects from the application area addressed by the study program Information Technology for the digital world.
