Foundations of IPD: The Companion Design

The Companion Design
6 ECTS | Seminar for Master Students
In this introductory seminar on Integrated Product Design, you will get to know the entire process of Product Design – from research and first ideas to visualization and final prototype. You will design and develop your own home accessory, from sketch to finish. As a result, after this course, you will have designed and produced an actual product in real scale.
The seminar language is English. You will engage in interdisciplinary teamwork (3 students per team). Master students from the following programs are welcome: Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Mechatronics and Robotics, Management, and Management and Technology; students from other programs may be considered after prior consultation.
Interested candidates must attend the first session. Following the course introduction, a lottery will be conducted to determine the final participant list due to high demand.
