Code: TE00CQ20

Credits

5 op

Objective

By the end of this course, students can:

understand the role of no-code and low-code tools in design processes.
design basic solutions in NCLC platforms.
collaborate in teams on an NCLC project.
consider NCLC implementation constraints and opportunities.
evaluate their NCLC-implemented projects.
reflect on the entire process.

Content

This course delves into the "Implement" and "Operate" stages of the CDIO framework using low-code/no-code tools. The students will complete a NCLC project including the following steps:
*Introduction to Software Development and No-Code/Low-Code Platforms
*Implementation with No-Code/Low-Code Platform
*Testing, Feedback, and Iteration
