About
This course was developed over several iterations by Kars Alfrink under supervision of Gerd Kortuem. The version documented on this site ran in Q3 of the 2021/2022 academic year at TU Delft faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. It was offered to master students of all TU Delft programs. Previous versions were taught in 2019/2020 and 2020/2021. We thank our students for engaging with the material and helping us improve it, and our collaborators over the years for their contributions: Thijs Turel, Tessa Steenkamp, Evangelos Niforatos, Hiram Rodriguez, James Broadhead, and Denis Bulygin.
