Design and Engineering backup
Design and Engineering
The overall aim of the Design and Engineering research group is to push the limits of Engineering Design by exploring, building and using technologies - Cyber-Physical Systems for a better world.
Product Development and Innovation
The focus areas of this group are product development methodology and prototyping. The group is involved with multiple product development and innovation projects across several disciplines. Product development topics that we focus on include:
- Rapid prototyping
- Mechatronics
- Fuzzy front end
- Design thinking
- Lean product development
- Agile and flexible product development
- Set-based concurrent engineering
As a master’s or PhD student in our group you have the ability to work closely with industrial partners ranging from small entrepreneurial startups to large, established companies. The group is closely linked to NAPIC (NTNU Aluminium Product Innovation Centre) and our Rapid Prototyping Laboratory.
Virtual Modelling of Knowledge-based Engineering
This research group work with computer aided design (CAD), finite element analysis (FEA) and knowledge-based engineering (KBE). Some of the topics covered by this group are:
- Numerical simulations
- Digital twins
- Engineered-to-order systems (ETO) with CAD integration
