Update March 2025:

Until 2024, this course was part of module “Smart Products” of the programme Industrial Design Engineering. Its main focus was on learning programming with a focus on prototyping smart products.

Starting September 2025, a new course “Design of Data Acquisition Systems” will be introduced for module “Data Driven Design”, which will have some elements of the former Application Development course, but also introduces new topics in the fields of Data Science and AI assisted Software Development.

More info:

• Info from the Osiris course catalog on the old Application Development course
• Check out all Application Development related Blog posts here.
• See the checklist of the electronics kit
• See the Java cheat sheet.

Interested in learning programming? Search the Osiris course catalog for “java”, “python” or “programming”.

Interested in prototyping using electronics?

Students may borrow the electronics kit, which has an Arduino Nano and an BLE-Nano (a Nano with Bluetooth built in). There are a lot of tutorials on my Blog introducing prototyping with Arduino.

Apart from the components in the kit, you may also borrow other components, which are listed at the second half of the page with the checklist of the electronics kit.

You can also buy parts yourself, eg. at our campus, in the Stores Shop or other (online) shops, like TinyTronics.
