2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
|
Learning Outcomes |
|
|
The lesson is an introduction to the fundamental aspects of design theory and methodology. The educational goal is to familiarize students with the concept of design and to gain a wide awareness of its scope and extensions. On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: • Understand the meaning of design and be aware of its historical development. • Understand different versions and perspectives of design. • Understand and distinguish between the ontological and epistemological dimension of the design process. • Understand and be able to manage the perspective of Product and Systems Design Engineer • Be aware and understand several design theories • Understand design methodologies and design tools at an abstract generalized level (analysis, composition) • Manage design theories and methodologies using a generalized approach • Understand design tools and be able to distinguish similarities, differences and correlations between the tools • Easily adapt quickly and efficiently to a variety of design approach / technique or tool they are asked to support • Gain initial experiential experiences for design practice |

General
Skills |
|
|
Upon successful completion of the program students will: • have the theoretical and practical background on the field of product and systems design engineering and the corresponding profession. • utilize scientific knowledge to understand, analyze and solve problems. • apply a wide range of scientific and technical knowledge concerning the design and development of products and systems. |
3. COURSE CONTENTS
|
The main axis of the course attempts to cover ontological and epistemological aspects of the design process. The second axis is based on combining and applying different methods to exploring a topic, developing ideas, evaluating, etc. In the third axis, the existing approaches to three-dimensional modeling and product development are analysed taking into account the production process. The following methods for modeling products and systems will be studied: 1. aesthetic and functional product analysis 2. morphological analysis and optimization of complex systems 3. holistic view of the product development cycle 4. support for collaboration between design teams / engineers |
