Course content
This course is offered as a follow-up on TPD4505 Design Theory, Specialization Course, and cannot be chosen separately. The course offers students the opportunity to specialize in a particular aspect of Industrial Design. Building on the theoretical insights acquired during the writing of a scientific article for TPD4505, the students are offered the possibility to develop knowledge through a design research or exploration project. This can for example involve conducting a survey, interview study or experiment, and developing a concept, prototype, manual or method relevant for the chosen area of specialization. All results must be open for publication.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
The candidate
- has through the literature study in the subject TPD4505 Design Theory obtained in-depth knowledge in the field the candidate wishes to specialize. This knowledge is used in the project, and further studies are carried out based on the needs of the project.
- has knowledge about key theories and methods in their area of specialization, and how these can be used in a design research or exploration project.
Skills:
The candidate
- has performed a larger independent project in their chosen field of specialization, based on a literature study, and practiced skills to use, develop and reflect on this
- can define goals for a design research or exploration project, select relevant theories and methods and apply these
- can discuss the use of theory and methods, and their own findings and conclusions.
General qualifications:
The candidate
- has strengthened their identity and competence in a chosen area of design.
Learning methods and activities
Theoretical or practical specialization project, based on literature studies and design theory.
Further on evaluation
