CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    The course uses Problem-Based-Learning. The students will be working in teams with real cases and design tasks based on a brief from a company or a research spin-off from academia. The outcome is a new solution, concept or a prototype related to fibre based product or its production. Project work includes several stages such as research, insight, ideation and concept creation. The course targets at teaching a systematic and innovative solution creation for a real customer in a limited time and resources. The progress of each team is controlled by check-point meetings and intermediate evaluations. The final outcomes are concepts, prototypes and design report that will be presented and evaluated in the end of the course.
