1. Objectives The aim of this course is to provide students with hands-on experience in Android mobile app design and the project is to arouse the students' creativity and business sense in application design. 2. Teaching and Learning Methods: Most of the real-world projects are always carried out by teams, thus students will be divided into project teams with maximum of 5 members per team. Students are focused on how to pick an idea and bring it to fruition through the prototype phase. The team will be responsible for every aspect in the application development. Continuous supervisions to each team are provided and several lab modules are developed to help students get start with the Android development framework: Lab1: Introduction to Android and its SDK Lab2: Building Your First Useful Android App: BMI Lab3: Enhanced BMI App 3. Assessments: Proposal and Presentation (Week 4) Each team is required to present their project proposal with use of ppt on week 4.
