Holistic Digital Service Development is a project course that combines theoretical learning with hands-on practical experience. In this project-based course, students work in teams to develop innovative digital services in close collaboration with industry partners. Each team is guided by a mentor from the partnering company, who provides valuable insights into the company's business model, needs, and portfolio. The goal of the course is to enhance the value creation of the company through the development of new digital services or the improvement of existing ones. This course offers a unique opportunity for students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings and develop valuable skills in digital service development. In this course, students apply their knowledge of cloud-based services, infrastructure, service design, and intelligent and smart systems.

Different conceptualizations of digital transformation; analysis of digital transformation cases; privacy and ethical issues around digital transformation; emerging technologies (e.g., blockchain, AI) that have been guiding digital transformation; theories, models and methods that have been used to assess the impact of digitalization.

Distributed version control systems (DVCS). Modern repository hosting platforms, such as GitHub and GitLab. Repository best practices, management, and administration. Solving repository errors. Continuous deployment processes and executing tests. Basics of container platforms, such as Docker. Deploying basic applications from source control systems.

This course aims give students a chance to create unique projects with a hands-on approach. The course guides students to find their interest in software engineering skills and to help each student find their desired path in software developing in the future. There are also several other Software Development Skill courses available on different topics. The course gives the student basic understanding of full-stack development. The goal is to create a basic front- and back-end and bundle them together as a complete system. The focus is to understand the bigger picture and how to bundle different software components together to create a working program. You will learn how to use MEAN-stack as a full stack tool bundle to create an app from scratch. Course is 100% online self-study.

These are the basic tools to make today's web-frontend. Students may use Bootstrap or animations in addition. The project focuses only on the layout, styles and the overall structure of the page. Course is 100% online self-study.

The course will introduce and discuss Software Process Management practices emphasizing the most popular process models used in the industry. The course will provide knowledge about: -the different software process models and their application to different circumstances -the main roles related to software development processes -how to coordinate software development -how to interface and interact with a software team and among different software teams. -how to properly estimate the effort

During this course, students apply all the software engineering skills they have acquired from their earlier courses to practice. Students form teams that run a real software project in collaboration with a customer, from requirements to implementation and delivery to the customer. Topics for the projects are generated by real customers. The focus of the course is on the process and project management issues, especially customer collaboration and efficient teamwork. Teams apply the Scrum process in practice and run their own projects independently using short iterations. Each team presents and reflects on its progress several times during the course. Students reflect on their learning in learning diaries. Delivery of the solution to the customer is required for the successful completion of the course.

Applied software engineering course. The objective for this course is for students to learn how to use their software engineering knowledge in an entertainment software engineering context. With the selected game development tools, student is capable to independently design and develop a small game program on some modern game engine platform, or work as a part of a team developing a larger game product. List of Topics: lectures and project works:- Games as software products- Basics of processes and models applied in the entertainment software industry- Basics of the game development tools- Introduction to game engines and their functions - Basics of 3D objects- Introduction to game development-related programming problem.- Basics of artificial intelligence in entertainment software engineering context.- Basics of sound engineering-Gamification and Serious games -Basic principles of AR and VR development

The aim of Fundamentals of Smart Systems is to introduce the broad spectrum of smart and intelligent systems, especially from a software engineering aspect. This includes mostly non-physical systems such as conversational agents, robotic process automation, prediction, and detection systems but also basics on how cyber-physical systems work and rely on data and sensors. Therefore, this course mostly uncovers the software side of smart systems, as software is crucial to make the systems "smart", by combining and analyzing data, for example from sensors.
