  Welcome to the Translational Engineering Forum!
  

  Course Zoom link: https://aalto.zoom.us/j/65937809053

  This course is led by Ivan Vujaklija (ivan.vujaklija@aalto.fi,  Office F306, Rakentajanaukio 2c) and co-taught by Marc Desmulliez (m.desmulliez@hw.ac.uk)

  This year’s course will be conducted in a hybrid format (combination of in person and remote accessible materials) and will consist of lectures and exercises. In addition, the course will have an option for obtaining additional 2 ECTS (so 7 ECTS in total) by taking extra entrepreneurship activities detailed bellow. Keep in mind that the 7 ECTS version of the course is obligatory for all SSIs students and otherwise the additional 2 ECTS credit portion of the course cannot be taken on its own (so only in conjunction with the remaining 5 ECTS).

  Zoom, MyCourses, and email will be the main course platforms, however, participants are encouraged to utilise any other means of communication that they might find useful for supporting their own work.

  All the handouts for the course will be uploaded in the Materials section of the page (on your left) according to the schedule. All video materials as well as Zoom links for the online contact sessions will be posted timely here in both Materials section and via the Course Forum (see below).

  Throughout the course, participants are also at liberty to use the labs in Otakaari 5 I-wing 2nd floor as well as electronics workshop (sähköpaja) at Maarintie 8 (ground floor, room 1558) if they see fit.

  Intended Learning Outcomes

  After successfully completing this course, the participants are able to:

  • Understand the process and requirements to convert basic research into innovative products and technologies
  • Apply the process of demand-based product development
  • Define core knowledge and skills needed to design multidisciplinary technical products
  • Design a concept for an electronic device and anticipate main challenges in the entity including SW/HW interfaces, EMC, assembly and manufacturing
  • Identify processes needed for quality assurance in product development
