Learning outcomes |
The course is focused on the development of native applications for mobile platforms, emphasizing the design, structure, and resources and languages used in that development. Another aim is to help students apply knowledge, acquired in other areas, in the engineering and implementation of those applications. The course also strives to captivate the sensibility of the student to problems specific to this area concerning the design and portability of mobile applications.
At the end the student should be able to:
1 Autonomously project and implement applications for mobile devices.
2 Work with a team in the engineering and development of software directed to mobile devices.
3 Use integrated development environments or the command line interface to develop mobile applications.
4 More easily deal with details concerning the storage and communications in mobile devices.
5 Take advantage of the multimedia resources and sensors made available by these devices in the developed application.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The contents of this curricular unit are discussed in an expository manner (although interaction is encouraged) and the practical part of these contents is explored in laboratory classes. Each practical lesson includes the implementation, installation and use of at least one mobile application. In addition, the practical work proposed is designed so that students develop the technical skills described in the objectives of this course through the development of mobile applications.
During the teaching-learning period, this curricular unit is assessed using three elements: a knowledge assessment test with oral presentation (T), an individual practical assignment (TI) and a group practical assignment (TG).
EA = 0.20 x T + 0.30 x TI + 0.50 x TG.
