After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

... reflect critically on the contents and priorities in digital technologies;
... differentiate and name different ways of thinking and problem-solving approaches in digitisation;
... assess the suitability of different ways of thinking and problem-solving approaches for different digitisation problems, and to select suitable ones;
... explain the need for critical thinking and reflection in the design of technical systems;
... formulate and discuss critical questions about the contents and methods of digitisation;

Ways of thinking in digitisation provides an introduction and an overview of digitisation from the point of view of their working and thinking ways, thus providing a kind of applied philosophy of science. The course is intended to arouse interest in further studies and to enable students to better classify the content presented in later courses. Students should be able to understand digitisation both in science and in practice, and to implement this knowledge as part of their further studies.

Lecture with extra classes in small groups. 

Basis for the evaluation is the work in groups as well as a final report.
