Bachelor project in informatics (visualization-focused): hands-on experience by implementing a visualization assignment.
Project in Informatics (Visualization-focused)
Introduction
This course (INF219) is broadly offered by the Informatics department and offers students the chance to work in small teams to implement a programming project under the guidance of an advisor from the department. This will be a programming project for a client that has a need for the developed solution. Note that there are a limited number of projects to choose from each semester, but it is also possible to suggest projects to the responsible lecturer (i.e., if you find yourself particularly interested in a visualization-focused project, let the lecturer know!). Available projects will be announced at Mitt UiB at the INF219 site. Questions about available projects can be made directed to the study advisor at the Department of Informatics (studieveileder@ii.uib.no).
