Abstract:

How can a university lecturer inspire students in pervasive computing? In the interdisciplinary undergraduate program “User Experience Design” (tripartition of computer science, conception and design, and usability) at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, we have demonstrated how appropriate didactic concepts generate value in contrast to “purely transferring information.” We discuss our experiences and how selected modules in the curriculum help students to gradually acquire a holistic understanding of pervasive computing and how we inspire them to work in scientific fields by incorporating current findings from research into teaching After the industrial revolution in the 19th century, the digital revolution (i.e., information technology, networking, Industry 4.0) is considered the most profound change of the 21st century. Tailor-made/individual manufacturing, ubiquitous systems, on-demand customer service, global networking (“Internet of things”), mobile communication, social networks, and automated driving are examples of topics that have far-reaching implications for the economy, as well as the professional and private everyday lives of people.
