Context: old course vs. new course
- 62581 "IT og kommunikation" (old, 10 ECTS): heavy on the TCP/IP protocol stack (application/transport/network/link layers), network security and cryptography, plus web/server programming (HTML/CSS/JS, Java servlets on Tomcat, Linux/Bash). Textbook: Kurose & Ross, Computer Networking — A Top-Down Approach.
- 62580 "Digitale Systemer & Anvendelse" (new, 10 ECTS): application- and product-oriented. Digital systems from idea to implemented system, user-centered design (personas, scenarios, usability, accessibility), high-level UML, client-server architecture and basic networking (Internet, DNS, protocols at an overview level), databases/data management, security & privacy, deployment, and project planning.
Both are 3rd-semester courses on the Health Technology BEng (Sundhedsteknologi, Diplomingeniør) at Campus Ballerup, Dept. 62 (Institut for Ingeniørteknologi og -didaktik), taught in Danish, 13 weeks, E5B (Wed 13–17) + E4B (Fri 8–12), individual oral exam based on a group project, 7-step scale with external censor. Both build on 62420 and 62450.
Key changes in 62580 worth noting when building course material:
- The project is documented via a digital artifact (e.g. a web-based system or application) plus a project portfolio, and both must be approved by the course responsible before the exam.
- Deep protocol-stack coverage (transport/network/link layers, crypto) is replaced by: user-centered design, databases, privacy, deployment, and systems analysis/description.
- Exam aids: all aids incl. internet; the student brings the portfolio and the developed website.
The old E22 material (lectures, exercises, project milestones) in the Drive folder remains a useful starting point for the web/project track; the networking track needs to be substantially condensed and re-oriented.
