Recommended prerequisite for participation in
the module
The module adds to the knowledge obtained in the 1st and 2nd
semester.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The Project-Oriented Study in an External Organisation must
have a scope that corresponds the ECTS load.
Objectives:
Develop and evaluate new solutions where cross-disciplinary
knowledge in the field of lighting design can be synthesized to
create innovative solutions. The focus can be exploring commercial
aspects as well as socio-cultural implications and/or its use in
generating scientific knowledge.
The purpose of this project module is to give the student the
opportunity to acquire practical, real-world experience
within the context of a company or an organization. The development
must be subject to relevant constraints and conditions of the
real-world context.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
Students who complete the module will gain knowledge, skills and
competences as follows:
- Evaluation of core state-of-the-art concepts,
theories, techniques and methodologies related to lighting
design
- Ability to synthesize relevant lighting
concepts, theories and techniques with a significant focus on
process and context in lighting design
- Evaluation of the design phases including
identifying problems, concept, design development, detailed design,
specification, laboratory experiments, model building,
mock-ups
- Must be able to understand professional,
business-related and organizational concepts that are relevant for
the hosting organization and the developed project.
- Account for the scientific foundation, and scientific problem
areas, of the specialization
- Describe the state of the art of relevant research in the
specialization
Skills
Students who complete the module will gain knowledge, skills and
competences as follows:
- Ability to synthesise market and trend
analysis methods to a lighting product or installation based on
light and the principals related to lighting design
- Ability to evaluate lighting design related to
scientific design methods, tools and technologies to create
lighting designs that meet specific needs and are viable from a
product, commercial, socio-cultural, and/or scientific
perspective
- Must be able to apply host relevant
constraints and affordances in the product design
- Master the scientific methods and general skills associated
with the specialization
- Produce a project report according to norms of the area, apply
correct terminology, document extensive command over relevant
literature, communicate and discuss the research-based foundation,
problem and results of the project orally, graphically and in
writing in a coherent manner
- Critically evaluate the results of the project in relation to
relevant literature and established scientific methods and models,
evaluate and discuss the project’s problem area in a relevant
scientific context
- Evaluate and discuss the project’s potential for further
development
Competences
Students who complete the module will gain knowledge, skills and
competences as follows:
- Ability to evaluate and select relevant
lighting theories, methods and tools with the specific aim of
working towards creating new qualitative products,
commercially viable products/installations, or new knowledge
- Ability tocreate lighting
drawings and lighting layouts that support the design process and
communicate the project
- Participate in, and independently carry out, technological
development and research, and apply scientific methods in solving
complex problems
- Plan, execute and manage complex research and/or development
tasks, and assume a professional responsibility for independently
carrying out, potentially cross-disciplinary, collaborations
- Independently assume responsibility for own scientific
development and specialization
Type of instruction
Academically supervised student-governed problem oriented
project work.
