Learning outcomes

The course's overall objective is to give students an practice in reflective industrial product development, carried out under the group-oriented forms of collusion. Through a parallel processing of technical product development, problem solving, project methodology and group dynamics pursued a holistic perspective on the development process.

After the course, students will be able to:

• Select and apply support methods in product development work
• Develop their own, and the organizations working methods in product development and propose suggestions for a more efficient work/working method
• Develop and implement a plan for product development projects
• Identify and evaluate their own behavior in working groups and relate this to the Working Group's dynamics
• Identify and apply relevant knowledge and collect information in order to solve product development problems
• Identify, prioritize and implement relevant design parameters for product development work, such as: customer and user viewpoint, legal requirements, environmental impact and production aspects
• In a clear and persuasive way present different problems and solutions to these. The methods for presentation should beoral, written and using appropriate physical models
• To identify and apply different approaches and standpoints with regard to ethnicity, diversity, ethics, gender, mm
• Identify and take into account the errors and risks linked to technical and organizational problems
