Date of Decision: 2023-03-16

General Information

Main field: Industrial Design.
Compulsory for: MID1
Language of instruction: The course will be given in English

Aim

The aim of the course is to execute an industrial design project, if possible in a small team, based on a design brief relevant to the chosen topic. During the project, the students put into practice past and newly acquired practical and theoretical knowledge. Students will have the possibility to collaborate with other faculties at Lund University and/or external partners.

Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

 

• Demonstrate in-depth understanding of the terminology and familiarity with emergent developments within the chosen subject – in relation to the industrial design discipline.

 

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

 

• Demonstrate the ability to write a briefing on a higher level, set up a project plan and monitor progress; effectively conducting a complete design process from concept generation to final presentation, adjusting the project’s path if necessary.

 

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• futher develop their analytical, critical and communicative skills as well as aesthetic skills and individual means of expression
• demonstrate the ability to conduct in-depth research  and reflect the findings within the framework of the chosen subject, effectively summarising and discussing the results
• reflect the cultural mission and ethical responsibility of the designer

Contents

Based on the knowledge and experience gained in the Industrial Design Project I, students progress in applying themselves theoretically and practically to their chosen topic.

Students are required to develop an in-depth design strategy to realise a concept (product or service) within the framework set by their chosen topic; delineated with a complementary project documentation.

 

Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: 80% participation, project completion according to the guidelines set by the teacher. The outcome, whether as physical 3D prototype and/or 3D simulation or immaterial, must be presented orally, visually and in writing (project documentation) – also debating the process employed and issues encountered.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.

Admission

Assumed prior knowledge: IDEN05 Industrial Design Project I or corresponding course
