- Learning Outcomes
Knowledge Broadening
Students are able to take on creative tasks in the context of HCI (Human Computer Interaction) and HMI (Human-Machine Interfaces) independently and in a motivated manner and to solve them in an experimental, methodologically individual approach. They&
Knowledge Deepening
39;;re able to conclusively present their work.
Instrumental Skills and Competences
The students are able to independently and ad hoc acquire specific knowledge necessary to solve the problems they&
Communicative Skills and Competences
39;;re addressing. This competence enables them to design unconventional and innovative solutions.
Systemic Skills and Competences
The students are able to convincingly present visionary ideas and concepts. They use various technologies, software and hardware tools optimized for a specific task in order to support and improve their work.
