Conceptual Design and Development of Innovative Products

This course is very untraditional because students are taken out of their
conventional classroom environment with substantial portions of teacher-led
learning to a real dynamic industrial environment with a problem based learning
focus course in a multidisciplinary setting. This course will take place during 3
intensive weeks on the site of an industrial organisation where the first week focus
on getting from an open idea for a new multidisciplinary product to use innovation
to come up with a concept and a prototype. The remaining two weeks will then
take that conceptual idea forward to the stage where the actual production
process can start. This means that different disciplinary analysis must be
conducted and in particular the interfaces between the different disciplines must
be agreed upon and described precisely.
