Design for Multimedia Art and Engineering Education: Problem Oriented Approach

By developing a syllabus of The International Master's Degree in multiMEDIA – technology, design, and management we have found that the problem-oriented approach for syllabus definition appears to be an efficient tool to ensure the expected by the industry requirements for multimedia art and engineering curriculum. The idea of multidisciplinary team training run by the Warsaw institutions, namely, the University of Technology, Fryderyk Chopin University of Music and Academy of Fine Arts is to ensure cross-field education at the technologically and artistically competitive level and to form up the teams ready to function at the commercial market. The software tools used by designing the syllabus (Word -> mRST -> LaTex -> PDF) made the transition from the project descriptions (in Word) to the final syllabus document (in PDF), semiautomatic. Based on the themes extracted from the projects by a Python application the electronic textbooks have been written for TiddlyWiki5 web platform.
