Main themes
The main objective of the course and to consolidate the knowledge of the students within an integrative and interdisciplinary project. The secondary objective of the project is to introduce students to the development of software applications, more specifically in the context of a business need related to life sciences.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| . | With regard to the AA reference system of the "Bachelor in Computer Science" program, this course contributes to the development, acquisition and evaluation of the following learning outcomes: ' S1.I5 ' S2.1-4 ' S4.1-3 'S5.1-6 ' S6.1, S6.3 |
Teaching methods
Initially, the students and the management team collaborate in order to propose a series of application pitches (web/mobile/desktop) providing an answer to a problem related to life sciences (learning tools of a discipline, educational game, calculation or visualization tool, etc.). This phase, based on the consolidation of knowledge acquired within the course program (knowledge of life sciences, ethical and legal implications, technical knowledge informing about the feasibility, etc.), involves supervision in the form of coaching oriented towards creative management techniques and formalization of a value proposition (design thinking, ideation techniques, business model canvas, etc.).
Then, the students work in small teams (3 to 4 students) and follow an iterative and incremental development process (inspired by the Scrum method) in order to develop a prototype for one of the applications pitched in the previous phase. This phase includes support in the form of coaching focused on professional software development (development tools, version management systems, testing and quality assurance tools, etc.).

Evaluation methods
Finally, the evaluation is carried out in the form of a demonstration of the application open to the public and accompanied by a more formal presentation presenting the pitch of the application, the technological choices made, the possible ethical and legal considerations and the steps needed to turn the prototype into a minimum viable product.
