Type D and Type F activities

Type D educational activities are at the student's choice, Type F activities are additional knowledge useful for job placement (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Didactic Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and entered independently in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F training activities can be covered by the following activities.

The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.

4. Contamination lab

The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential pathway with modules dedicated to innovation and business culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all courses of study to solve challenges launched by companies and institutions. The pathway allows students to receive 6 CFUs in the D or F area. Discover the challenges: https://www.univr.it/clabverona- Opens in a new window

PLEASE NOTE: To be eligible to take any teaching activity, including electives, you must be enrolled in the year of the course in which it is offered. Therefore, it is recommended that undergraduates of the December and April sessions DO NOT take extracurricular activities of the new academic year, in which they are not enrolled, since these degree sessions are valid with reference to the previous academic year. Therefore, for activities carried out in an academic year in which they are not enrolled, no recognition of CFUs can be given.

5. Internship/internship period

In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum (check carefully what is indicated on the Educational Regulations) here- services - internships and apprenticeships - science and engineering It opens in a new window you can find information on how to activate the internship.

Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.

Please also note that for internships activated from October 1, 2024, it will be possible to recognize excess hours in terms of Type D credits, limited only to internship experiences carried out at host institutions outside the University.

UL: Laboratorio
------------------------
This 12-hour laboratory course focuses on tools and frameworks for modern software engineering and data visualization using JavaFX. The program is structured to provide students with comprehensive hands-on experience in developing modern desktop applications.
The course begins with an introduction to JavaFX basics, teaching students how to create interactive and responsive user interfaces. It then delves into efficient data management through the use of JavaFX Observable Collections, enabling students to develop reactive and dynamic applications.
A significant portion of the course is dedicated to the use of FXML and Scene Builder. Students will learn to define user interfaces using FXML, an XML-based language, and leverage Scene Builder, a powerful visual tool for rapid and intuitive creation of JavaFX UIs.
The course places particular emphasis on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, a fundamental pattern in software development. Students will learn how to structure their JavaFX applications according to this model, clearly separating responsibilities between Model (data and business logic), View (user interface), and Controller (event handling and coordination). This approach will allow them to create more modular, maintainable, and scalable applications.
Finally, the course concludes with an introduction to scheduling operations in JavaFX. Students will learn to use the Timeline class to program and manage timed operations, including executing periodic tasks.
It is not excluded that the same program may be conducted using Python's Dash library if there is strong demand from the students.

Each lecture balances the explanation of foundational concepts with practical, hands-on exercises to ensure students can apply their learning immediately.

Learning assessment procedures

The examination, for students both attending and not attending classes, consists of a project related to lab activities and of an oral examination. Such exam will allow one to show both his communication skills and his knowledge about Software Engineering. Students will also demonstrate their skills in applying their knowledge in "practical" software engineering tasks.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The evaluation will consider:
clarity in explaining the software tool developed, management of the project, correcteness and completeness of the provided design documents, correctness and completeness of the software tool implemented, even with respect to modularity, tests, and use of design patterns.
