MF1050 Design and Product Realization for Teachers in Technology 7.5 credits

The main part in the course consist of a project task aiming at the design of a new or the improvement of an existing product.

Aspects such as form, function and manufacturing should be observed. The proposals should then be illustrated with physical and virtual models (e g cardboard and 3D CAD models).

then be illustrated with physical and virtual models (e g cardboard and 3D CAD).

In addition to supervision the project work is also supported through lectures, exercises and laboratory sessions.

The aim of these teacher-supervised classes is also to widen the context and perspective on design and product realisation. In the teacher-supervised classes, CAD, design, product realisation and oral and written communication are introduced,

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

- the working methodology around the product realisation process and be familiar with the engineer's role in this

- understand the importance of industrial design in the product development and working methods for design, visualisation and production of models

- use some of the engineer's computer tools especially:

CAD programmes to make models in two and three dimensions for communication and as manufacturing specification

word processing software to write reports

- work in a project group with formal project meetings and assignment of tasks

- be able to plan and carry out oral presentations

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Hand in Tasks, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• LAB1 - Laboration, 1.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• PRO1 - Project, 4.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The examination takes place continuously with oral and written presentations of written assignments, laboratory sessions and projects.
