Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for
participation in the module
The student must have knowledge, skills and competencies within the
industrial design and engineering field corresponding to the
completion of the MSc01 and MSc02 Industrial Design Engineering
education or similar.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The project aims at providing opportunities for the students to
explore and gain knowledge of a subject of their own choice within
the field of industrial design engineering while acquiring
competencies in the rigorous structuring and communication of their
knowledge production. The project module should be related to a
course module with supporting methods and theories related to the
chosen subject of the project module.
Students who complete the module:
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Must be able to identify, define and frame a relevant subject
for investigation and research within the field of industrial
design engineering
- Must be able to account for relevant theoretical positions and
related methodologies pertaining to the chosen subject
- Must have knowledge of practice within the chosen field related
to industrial design engineering
- Must be able to account for and reflect on theories used or the
methodologies applied within the chosen subject
- Must be able reflect on the test results in relation to the
field and activities of the profession e.g. international
professional standards
Skills
- Must be able to evaluate and assess the research problem in
relation to their completed investigations and/or experiments and
use this as a basis for synthesising proposals for quality designs,
constructions, systems or processes
- Must be able to frame the research problem taking into account
the interdependency between type of knowledge wanted, the possible
methods of investigation and type of data produced
- Must be able to communicate results or partial results of the
project work in a manner that is on a par with professional
research reporting
Competences
- Must be able to plan and carry out research of a chosen subject
and have the capacity to describe the chosen problem in a
theoretical and methodological framework as well as to draw
conclusions on the basis of own analysis of the results
