Course description and aims
This course provides four weeks intensive lectures in order to teach the basic and practical knowledge about product design and product development. Student learn knowledge required to be an entrepreneur through the case study discussions, field observation, group activities, 3D modeling and 3D printing experience, and presentation
Student learning outcomes
The goal of this course is to learn the knowledge of product design and development required to be an entrepreneur. Student can take the effective actions about product design and development as an entrepreneur.
Keywords
Product design, Product development, 3D Modeling, 3D Printing
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Firstly, students learn the basic knowledge of Product design and Product development through case study and class discussion.
Secondly, students conduct field observation to find the products (or parts) that embodied “clever design”, and appreciate their values.
Thirdly, students design original products by group works.
Fourthly, students make actual prototype of the product using a 3D printer.
At the end of the course, student groups give presentations and receive comments.
