Monitoring the monitors is a sophisticated solution developed to streamline operations and improve user experience at the University of Twente's library. The system offers real-time monitoring of monitor occupancy, efficient scheduling management, and predictive insights for both library staff and students. At its core, the system provides accurate and up-to-date information on monitor occupancy, utilizing motion sensors and smart plugs to ensure optimal resource allocation and utilization. Through forecasting models, the system also predicts future trends in monitor occupancy and energy consumption, enabling proactive planning and infrastructure optimization.One of the system's key functionalities is defect monitoring, which identifies and alerts library staff about defective monitors and malfunctioning sensors. This proactive approach to maintenance ensures uninterrupted service and minimizes downtime.Furthermore, the system features robust alert systems tailored to the needs of both library staff and students. These alerts provide timely notifications and facilitate seamless communication, empowering users to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions. Overall, it represents a holistic approach to library management. By providing actionable insights and real-time visibility into library operations, the system empowers staff and students to optimize resource utilization and enhance the overall library experience.
The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
