Tutorial project for a joint module in smart systems for Bachelor students in electrical and computing engineering

This paper describes the tutorial project in a joint module for both electrical and computer engineering students in the third year of a bachelor degrees. The main aim is to introduce challenges for the students that are recognised to give a taste of real life and at the same time set tasks that require background knowledge from both electrical and computing engineering. The tutorial project has been run as parts of various other modules previously and the opportunity to combine the complete project has only recently been possible. The project brings together the real life analogue world, using sensors and actuators, with the digital world of computers using decisions support systems and remote control over internet.
