Learning outcomes

After completing this module successfully you will be able to test, apply, and expand the previously gained skills in more complex design projects. By selecting your own specialization you will have developed and refined your own design process, and will have further developed your ability to answer questions of product design with innovative solutions.

Module content

Skills in product design methods and processes will be extended and deepened in practice-oriented projects. In set or chosen product categories research, analysis, problem- and goal-definition will be carried out, to generate, evaluate, develop, a range of innovative suggestions whose usability will then be tested.
