| Course Objectives: |
This course aims to stimulate students to investigate the feasibility of fiction events, based on scientific grounds.
The implementation of the course is as follows. (i) The framework of specific fiction topics will be described precisely, (ii) technical requirements for their feasibility will be analyzed, (iii) the state of the art and perspectives for the future will be investigated.
The course will consist of 4 modules, covered in 3 weeks each. A typical example of fiction that has been feasible would be the following: (i) Doors openings without direct contact was a fiction event in the past. (ii) Feasibility requires to transmit a command to the mechanism that will perform the task of opening the door. (iii)State of the art is by optical sensors and even face recognition. Future perspectives can be proposed by students.
Furthermore, the information age, artificial intelligence, and life under these developments will be discussed. |
| Course Contents: |
This course aims to introduce the concept of feasibility of applying new technologies to life within the information age. For this purpose, the students will discuss new concepts and learn by developing a project. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO): |
- 1- To discuss the requirements and Technologies of the new age
- 2- To analyze the feasibility of the opportunities arised by the new developments and inventions
- 3- To teach the ability to develop new projects by using new concepts
