Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The work in the Bachelor’s course Design and Product Development (C-level) will demonstrate independence and engineering skills. Proposals for projects will be presented during the introductory session. The project must have significant technical content and communicate through text and images. Briefings from the projects will take place throughout the course.   The course introduces students to visualization and communication, training technical and visual skills in 3D graphics and presentation software. The visualization course also teaches students how to choose appropriate media and communications methods. Teaching is given in classes and small groups and each student reports individually. On completion of Study Period 3, each student makes a presentation demonstrating their skills in the visualization programs.

Intended learning outcomes

On completion the candidate's work in Industrial Design student should be able

  • Independently develop and present a problem, from idea to product suggestions. This requires the student to have gained an insight into and an understanding of the genesis process in its various phases and to understand the user or customer's requirements and preferences, spoken as well as unspoken.

  •  Apply and integrate knowledge and skills acquired during their studies, focusing on  problems in their chosen field of specialization

  •  Present a written technical report meeting the requirements on content, structure and language, and give an oral presentation.
