ML1213 Product Development and Design 15.0 credits

This course presents to the student a generic, iterative project-based process that is used to manage the execution of new product development. The process builds on knowledge from previous project courses and extends the student’s basic knowldege in computer aided design and engineering software applications. What is unique in this specialization course is the development, design and engineering of a product concept that requires the communication and presentation of results from decisions in a variety of forms; verbally, illustratively, textually, physically (i.e. 3D printing and physical modeling) and virtually (i.e. in digital animations).

• Describe the working methods and professional roles of industrial designers, design engineers and product developers in product development project
• Develop ideas by means of component and product prototypes in physical form, based on sketches using digital models
• Carry out common image processing operations, create animations and developing presentation material using text and image
• Discuss and use project plans, methods and support methods for project and product development, and account for and carry out the phases included in a product development project
• Together with other students carry out product development projects in a reflective, sustainable, quality considerate and responsible way
• Account for how ideas and products can be protected (patents, protection of designs, copyright and property rights)
