The course aims to give student possibility to design innovative and user adapted proposals vis-à-vis an external employer. Student should be given the opportunity to develop and evaluate new ideas for innovations that can be implemented to create lasting use and value for a specific target group. In projects, the students learn to identify, organise, design and evaluate innovation work. Through knowledge and practices from different knowledge fields and scientific perspectives, the students learn about idea and business development, user involvement, cooperation and operational planning. The students are also given tools to apply interactive and creative work and design methodology to be able to handle incomplete given problems while still making reasonable and independent assumptions.
