6. Introduction
The curriculum is structured to cover the end-to-end process of a research and development product cycle modifications or new applications to their existing human-to-machine technology. The main goal of the project is not focused on particular algorithmic techniques or computer technologies but on developing a broad set of skills needed for user-centered design.

7. Teams
Teams starts to be defined today and should be clearly identified by end of March
Teams composition
2/3 computer scientists 2/3 students from industrial design
Every team should have team leader, who is in charge of coordinating the others and possibly be present at each office hours (independently of the specific professors)

9. Topics During the course, some general themes will be introduced
Starting from the theme, a team should develop a project idea and realize it
Industrial design students will be mainly in charge of the phase theme  concrete project idea (with mock-ups of the interfaces/interactions)
Computer scientists will be mainly in charge of the phase concrete project idea  running system to be demonstrated during the exam

10. Final discussion (1)
The final project must be presented in one of the scheduled project discussion date
There will be one discussion date for each exam session
Students are expected to check the project discussion date on the course website
It is mandatory to notify the tutor (i.e., Valeria Mirabella) by about the date in which you intend to discuss the project

11. Final discussion (2) The project discussion consists of
a brief presentation of the work done (ppt file)
the final written report (doc/pdf file)
the running prototype
Project documentation and a virtual machine with all the running prototype and demonstration should be delivered on a cd/dvd + pen drive (for copying, it will be given back to you )
Each team should plan to talk for approximately 30 minutes, and each student should present at least a few slides (each one should “speak”)
