The number of students following the TCS program has been rapidly increasing over the past few years. A house system analogous to the system of Hogwarts has been introduced to give the students a sense of belonging and make everything more manageable. Of course, an integral part of the Hogwarts house system is the annual House Cup where the houses gather points over the course of a year. That is why our client asked us to design and implement a system to facilitate the TCS House Cup. One part of the system is the online management tool. It is integrated with Canvas and is used to view and update the scores of the houses. In the Harry Potter books, the score is also represented by giant hourglasses filled with gems, which meant our system should also contain a physical representation of the scores. This has been implemented as tanks filled with water, where the amount of water represents the score of the house.
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.
