Om emnet
Transform is a course in Industrial Design dealing with basic- and new tools for developing, prototyping, and conveying design solutions. The course is organized around two extensive main iterations and phases. Students practice the steps all the way from idea to finish on a design object before Easter. After Easter, we shall practice a method where design fiction and future scenarios become inhabited with imaginary conceptual products. The outcome of both phases will be physical products presented by digital media.
The course focuses on using various forms of physical and digital prototypes that support the creative ideation process. Sketching and model building will therefore be blended with e.g., material explorations, digital visualization, and other forms of conveying a rich variety of different design concepts. Independent of which technology is used, emphasis will always be on the core competencies traditionally found in Industrial Design.
For each individual student, the curriculum might be slightly modified.
Læringsutbytte
Knowledge:
By the completion of the course, the student shall have further knowledge about:
- the kind of solution-driven design process inherent in the Industrial Design tradition.
- storytelling in different media
Skills:
By the completion of the course, the student shall have further strengthened the ability to:
- use an Industrial Designer’s toolbox including; sketching through different media, creative methods, applied aesthetics, teamwork, foresight, and presentation.
General competence:
By the completion of the course, the student shall:
- have a competence in Industrial Design.
- have a reflective and realistic understanding of his/her present competence and what is required to achieve sufficient professional knowledge and skills.
- adapt new tools, typically in entirely new contexts and often without any relevant users able to be informants or co-designers.
Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter
The work is arranged as a design studio with lectures, seminars, workshops, and presentations woven in as a natural part of the activity. There are two modules, and each module involves time in the workshops. The students inspire and evaluate each other along the way.

|---|---|---|---|
| Vurderingsmappe | Individuell | Bestått / ikke bestått | The course will primarily be assessed through project work, self-assessments, and deliveries such as design models, videos, and presentations. The first module is assessed by the teachers on the course. At the end of the semester, the whole course is assessed by an external supervisor. The students need to pass both modules to pass the course. For students who fail the first module, a supplementary delivery can be submitted before the final assessment. |
