COURSE OUTLINEΠΕΡΙΕΧΟΜΕΝΟ ΜΑΘΗΜΑΤΟΣ
The course aims to present and document the role of digital technology in construction. Digital technology contains a wide range of disciplines related to the objects of engineering (Computer, Electrical, Mechanical). In this context, the intended learning outcomes related to the creation of common ground in the design of composite structures that assemble individual knowledge to ensure the mediation of everyday work and it’s performance with security, satisfaction and effectiveness. The target is to be achieved through the education of students in subjects at classic sciences of engineers.
The course covers the following sections:
- Overview of trends in digital technology and the role it plays in everyday life
- Consolidation of theoretical schools of thought (mainly from branches of cognitive science) that affect the mediation of working in space and time
- Familiarity with design techniques and develop design solutions
- Overview of applications of digital technology in the field of construction and engineering
- Familiarity with equipment and materials such as Arduino, MS-Kinect etc. and portable devices simulatorsFamiliarity with «Off desktop interaction» technologies as Kinect, RFID tags, AR markers, etc.
- Digital technology: Introductory presentation of trends from the recent past to the present days
- Cognitive considerations of functions mediated by computing devices
- Introductory presentation of visas that examine the distribution of the mind beyond the brain (in space and environment)
- Materials, digital media and computing devices: Current concepts related to development of joint (synthetic) using environments
- Data input devices - transducers: Classic material from Human-Computer Interaction
- Sensors and Smart Devices: New or emerging computing devices
- Advanced interaction techniques: Gestures, sketching, touching, etc.
- Multimodal interaction
- Complex Digital World design: Material and digital entourage
- Applications demanding continued connectivity
- Applications in structured indoor surfaces
- Outdoor applications
- Applications in construction
- Projects presentations – Revision
- Examination
