Course contents

The course is meant to give an introduction to many things:

• relevant subjects
• the media industry
• professional roles
• use of sensor platforms
• KTH
• higher studies
• the rest of the education programme.

Intended learning outcomes

The goal of the course is to give the students

• reflect on, compare, and create their own definitions of "Media technology", "Media industry", and "Media technology industry"
• get an overview and discuss both the topic and the education area of Media technology
• explain what it takes to mediated communication to work, both in technical and non-technical aspects
• describe typical roles and tasks for an engineer in Media technology, both in and outside the Media industry
• describe the key actors, structures, organizations, development and history of the Media industry
• reflect, discuss, and argue about consumers (individuals, companies, and organizations) needs, choices and preferences for Media consumption and Mediated communication
• reflect, discuss and argue about your role as a student, your study and responsibility for the learning process
• program a simple sensor platform
• search and evaluate information
• assimilate content in simpler research reports
• write a simple structured scientific report
• account for KTH and university history and their role in society development
• use the KTH education environment with computers, study administration system mm.
• understand and use basic Media technology terminology
• discuss what constitutes research in Media technology today
• reflect on the sustainable development of sensor-based systems

so that they will

• have a basis for the following education
• gain insight into skills needed in future carrier opportunities
