Performing complex design tasks is a fundamental skill of designers. One focus of the course is on developing the ability to competently integrate technical and constructive issues into the design process.

There should be as little difference as possible between the actual design draft and what is technically feasible and economically feasible.

This module (in conjunction with "product development") enables the students to consider technical aspects sufficiently and at an early stage.

This involves all essential aspects of project management in the networked product development process.

Project definition, benchmark, research, analysis, technical concept,sustainability, draft, elaboration, evaluation, iterative design development, presentation, and documentation.

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

• Project Report, written

Subtasks are processed throughout the semester and summarized in a written project report.

(e.g. shape analysis, the definition of context of use and target group, list of features, technical concept, sketches, draft, mockups, clay model, CAD model, printed model, renderings, ...)

The written project report is 20 pages long.

The students master the processing and documentation of a project with a focus on technical product development.

They are also able to generate professional presentations of the work results.

The students who have successfully studied this module acquire the competence of constructive-functional product design in terms of aesthetics, system functionality, and product realization.

They have the ability to carry out design developments under the conditions of constructability and manufacturability.

The students who have successfully studied this module have the competence to present and present ideas, concepts, and products convincingly in writing and images, as well as in a rhetorically sophisticated manner.

You have strong skills in approaching a technical issue in a creative and practical way and in developing efficient solutions based on theoretical knowledge and practical experiments.

In the interdisciplinary, networked product development process, students can think and make decisions not only in their specialist area but also in complex decision-making areas.

You have advanced knowledge of structuring the product development process in terms of aesthetics, system functionality, and product realization.

After participating in this module, students have developed the skills for networked, interdisciplinary communication and can contribute to complex decision-making processes in the product development process in a cross-departmental way.

The students have advanced knowledge of company-wide and interdisciplinary communication.

The students who have successfully studied this module use advanced procedures and methods to develop designs in a structured manner and to present them professionally.

The module is associated with the event "Product Development".

Both courses use different tools and methods to work on the same project. The module is directly linked to the "Design Project Process" module, in which the skills, knowledge, and skills acquired there are promoted and deepened in practical exercises/workshops.

It is flanked by the two elective modules "CAD for Industrial Product Design" and "Representation 3".

Due to the extensive use of the "analog/digital process chain", this module is a very good preparation for the practical semester, as well as for the design projects in the 6th and 7th semesters.
