Basic knowledge of the different materials and the respective manufacturing processes is of particular importance for a common communication canon between industrial product design and engineering.

Only understanding a common language for describing form and function enables the two closely related disciplines to work effectively and synergistically.

This course, designed specifically and exclusively for industrial product design students, teaches the students the essential basic knowledge of this language. Product development is becoming more and more complex and individual disciplines and work positions are becoming significantly more networked.

Basic knowledge of company-wide and overarching communication in the development process is also an essential competence for designers.

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Homework / Assignment

The homework has a length of at least 15 pages. (text + images)

Prior knowledge is not required

The students know industry-independent, systematic planning and implementation of product developments. They know proven problem-solving methods, methods for product optimization, analysis methods for product properties, and methods for decision-making and can apply them successfully.

The students who have successfully studied this module understand the basic principle of the product development process.

They will develop the skills for networked, interdisciplinary communication.

The students are made aware of the necessary cost, deadline, and capacity planning, management, and control in the product development process.

The entire product creation process, including everyone involved, is discussed here.

With their communication skills, they acquire the ability to understand everyone involved in the product development process and to work successfully with them on an interdisciplinary basis.

The students have recognized the need for systemic thinking and relate decisions not only to their subject area but too complex, overarching decision-making areas.

This basic module teaches the "state-of-the-art product development process".

Visionary methods are also communicated.

Scientific innovations are not derived.

After participating in this module, students have developed the skills for networked, interdisciplinary communication and can make a meaningful contribution to complex decision-making processes across departments.

The students have a basic knowledge of company-wide and overarching communication.

You have basic knowledge of a common language between industrial product design and engineering.

This enables the two closely related disciplines to work effectively in synergy when describing form and function.

Product development is becoming more and more complex and individual disciplines and work positions are becoming significantly more networked.

The students can critically reflect on their own role as participants in the product development process, which enables effective synergetic work in the two closely related disciplines (industrial product design and engineering).
