Course content

This course is offered as a follow-up on TPD4505 Design Theory, Specialization Course, and cannot be chosen separately. The course offers students the opportunity to specialize in a particular aspect of Industrial Design Engineering. Building on the theoretical insights acquired during the writing of a scientific article for TPD4505, the students are offered the possibility to develop theoretical insights through a design research or exploration project. This could for example involve a survey, interview study or experiment, the development of a concept, prototype, manual or method relevant for the chosen area of specialization.
All results must be open for publication.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: The candidate has through the literature study in the subject TPD4505 Design Theory obtained in-depth knowledge in the field the student wishes to specialize. This knowledge is used in the project, and further studies are carried out based on the needs of the project.

Skills: The candidate has performed a larger independent project in their particular field of study, based on a thorough literature study, and practiced skills to use, develop and reflect on this.

General qualifications: The candidate has strengthened his or her identity in a chosen area of expertise in design.

Learning methods and activities

Theoretical or practical specialization project, based on literature studies and design theory. Updating of the scientific article from TPD4505.
