Knowledge: By the completion of the course the student shall have knowledge about:

• Knowledge about a variety of approaches in design processes for different purposes with targeted outcome, so that the students can better plan, design and direct their process towards a valuable, desired outcome.  

Knowledge about manufacturing tends and standards in a circular context with relevant tools and methods so that they can do informed and responsible choices in their design processes

Skills: 

By the completion of the course the student shall have the ability to:

• Be trained in working by different approaches in design, achieving the experience of how this can generate various results and enable them to choose methods according to specifications in a design project.
• Have worked with tools and methods within sustainability, so they know how and when design decisions affect the final solution and thereby how to make sustainable choices in design.
• Have knowledge on the impact design choices have on a products sustainability score in EPD and other relevant measuring methods. 
• Been trained in the use of innovative methods such as Peer Creative development, back-casting and possibility driven design, so that they increase their capacity to design for a complex changing future.

Extensive training in core industrial design skills as, sketching, mock-up building and CAD, enabling them to work efficiently, choosing the right tool and deliver at an accurate professional level throughout the process.

General competence:

By the completion of the course the student shall:

The student should have obtained a more complete understanding of their role and responsibility as designer, by improved skills and deeper understanding of manufacturing, sustainability and approaches in design.

They should be able to suggest an approach and plan a design process for a desired outcome.
