Interdisciplinary Computing

The goal of the course is to put Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and ICT engineering in perspective of human, natural and meta sciences, namely anthropology, philosophy, social sciences, cognitive sciences, biology, ethology, and system science. The benefits are a cross-fertilization between these domains and Computer Science, and the set up of an holistic design methodology in Computer Science. The content is both theoretical and practical (some concepts are applied through exercises and/or projects).
 

Learning Outcomes: 

The course aims at developping different types of skills:

  • holistic understanding of computer technology and engineering
  • ability to work in interdisciplinary teams
  • ability to use models and methods inspired by other disciplines in computing design
  • integration of system thinking
