NIGK13009U Holistic Design - Integrated Design of Technical Products, Natural Science and Business
The objective of the course is that you within a project team
carry out a project, where you independently contribute to the
execution of a design project in the form of a holistic design
task, possibly within an organization or a company. The course is
based on an understanding (achieved in previous D&I courses) of
the synthesis process, of socio-technical relations and an insight
into the domain technology for the project in question. The course
aims at giving you the following competences:
* formulate a purpose for the development.
* synthesise ideas and concepts.
* articulate goals, define tasks and coordinate tasks.
* balance off viewpoint and create an harmonic unity.
* create concrete clarifications and systemize.
* understand the practical, complex execution of design processes
and the students own role within these processes.
* deliver and communicate a thorough design solution.
* argue for the application of the design solution within context.
* explain the business related aspects.
* give a reflected criticism of others design work and results.
* collaborate with other stakeholders in design and define own role
in the work.
The course is called holistic since more aspects are taken into
consideration than in previous project courses in the design &
innovation program. The project can be carried out in collaboration
with a company, it will go more in depth with project planning and
control and go into specialized areas like detail design, business
opportunities and economy.
The goal is to improve student skills in cross disciplinary development work, getting insights into other working cultures and value sets preparing you for future working life.
projects often in collaboration with industry.
Students sign up at their own university -but are taught together.
The course is part of the project CIEL Green Innovation in Cities EEP which is oordinated from CBS. this specific course is coordinated from DTU (Torben Lenau, lenau@dtu.dk, og Thomas Howard, thow@dtu.dk).
