Course Objectives | This course aims to expose students to design processes and methods for innovative new product development. Students will engage in strategic thinking and research into, for example, the political, economic, social and technological contexts of new products, services or systems. As the outcome of the course, students will propose product concepts and product specifications that are intended for further development. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Course Description | This course will consist of design problems concentrating particularly on the early phases of new product development. Students will work individually or in groups and proceed in stages along a new product development process. They will employ a number of tasks including planning, creative thinking, desk and field research, product concept design, design concept development, preparing and making presentations, and composing business proposals. At the end of the course, students will produce an innovative product concept. |
