AI tools are becoming a common part of student workflows, but they do not always perform as expected. Through my work as a Student Assistant at UiA, I tested how LLMs handle real engineering assignments. The results show clear technical limitations — and new opportunities for teachers. Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing how engineering students… Fortsett å lese How AI Tools Helps and Fails in Engineering Assignments at UiA.

Hei, jeg heter Victor Ruiz Ulltveit-Moe, og denne sommeren var jeg heldig nok til å få jobbe som assistentforsker ved Universitetet i Agder. Prosjektet jeg jobbet innenfor handlet om å kartlegge en invasiv østersart, nemlig stillehavsøstersen! Stillehavsøsters kommer opprinnelig fra Stillehavet, men ble introdusert til Europa ca. 50 år siden. Siden da, har østersen krypt… Fortsett å lese Kartlegging av Stillehavsøsters og Muslingparasitt i Norge – Student i Jobb

In this project another student and I were tasked with programming two ABB robots to disassemble parts of an electric‑vehicle battery in UiA’s robotics lab. My part was programming the robots to pick and place tools, unscrew bolts, and pick up and move the modules that contain the battery cells. We used two six‑axis ABB… Fortsett å lese Robotic Disassembly of EV Batteries

Dette semesteret har jeg fått muligheten til å være vitenskapelig assistent i et forskningsprosjekt om migrasjonsadferd hos sjøørret (Salmo trutta), med fokus på kjønnsbestemmelse. Formålet med prosjektet er å få innsikt i kjønnsspesifikke migrasjonsmønstre, det vil si forskjellene mellom individer som blir værende i ferskvann og de som vandrer ut i sjøen, og hvordan det… Fortsett å lese Min erfaring som vitenskapelig assistent: Isolering av sjøørret-DNA

This blog represents my personal views and observations on how AI platforms influence students in formative assessments and their learning process. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity are becoming increasingly common in higher education. Students rely on them for explanations, quick problem-solving, and revision support. This makes it crucial for… Fortsett å lese AI Detection in Formative Assessment: An Experimental Study Across MAS236-Machine Elements and FEM, MAS237-Actuation Systems, and MA-178-Mathematics

The marine communities inhabiting our coastal systems are changing in line with climate warming and human pressures. One such example is Atlantic cod. This iconic species in Norway was once abundant in Sørlandet and local people enjoyed fishing and eating this fish during family dinners. However, recent scientific reports evidenced the decline of the natural… Fortsett å lese Helping to rebuild fjord cod populations in Agder with RESTORSK

This student project was a part of a larger automatic car battery disassembly project in the robotics lab at UiA. The main goal for my project was to take a picture of a car battery, recognise the bolts, and send their position to a robot arm. This was done using Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2).… Fortsett å lese AI bolt recognition using 3D camera in ROS2

Starting with a simple question Under the guidance of Prof. Linga Reddy Cenkeramaddi, I spent my project period trying to answer a question: automatic detection of vehicles based on sound. This blog is regarding the students in innovation projects. Can a machine listen to traffic and tell which vehicle is passing by, using sound alone?… Fortsett å lese Automatic Detection of Vehicles based on Sound

In collaboration with street artist Arne Vilhelm Tellefsen / Deconform AS and Kunstsilo, we are developing a mobile application for documenting and promoting street art in Kristiansand. This blog covers work done as part of two Student in Research and Innovation projects at UiA: 1) Kristiansand Street Art App: Archive and Cataloguing System. 2) Kristiansand… Fortsett å lese Kristiansand Street Art App

This research explores how a website can be used for mental health professionals working with patients who have mental Disorders. These patients often face significant challenges in expressing their emotions or thoughts, making it difficult for therapists to fully understand their mental state. To address this, the study focuses on creating an intuitive interface that… Fortsett å lese Building an AI System for Mental Health
