Training students in solving interactive and dynamic architectural problem by using mechatronic and embedded systems.

The outcome of this course is to master the process of selection and use of mechatronic systems and embedid applied to architectural task.

Introduction and definition of the concept of interactive systems in architecture. Introduction to the basic concepts in the field of interactive systems, mechatronics and embedded systems. During the course, students learn to 1: identify the problem, 2: create the conceptual design of an architectural problem 3: identify the most suitable mechatronic or embedded systems 4: configure the whole mechatronic and embedded systems, program it for that purpose, test and eliminate errors detected 5: integrate mechatronic and embedded systems in architectural problem 6: compile all the documentation 7: follow predefined deadlines for each phase of work 8: during the entire process of applying a professional approach and a high level of ethics

For each school year the architectural task is defined. It has to be solved by the creating and using of interactive systems. Students are divided into teams of up to 5 members who carry out a given task. Students divide themselves into teams. Each team aims to implement a predefined architectural interactive task. The course has no formal final exam and is considered to be successfully completed if the team successfully designed and implemented an interactive system in a given task.
