Course Objectives: 

The goal of this course is to help students gain competence in relevant research and design methods to carry out an entire design process. Students are encouraged to consider product form and interaction in relation to structure, function and communication with the user. Issues of manufacturing, such as efficiency, use of materials, and effective use of resources are delivered as important aspects of design. Physical and cognitive aspects of user-product interaction, such as ergonomics, product language and ease of use are addressed as a part of user-centred design methodology, which is integrated in product design projects.

Course Learning Outcomes: 

Upon successful completion of this course, a student will:

  1. Explain the relationship between structural properties of materials and functional aspects of products.
  2. Examine designed objects in terms of their structural complexity, functionality, efficiency in manufacturability and use of resources.
  3. Predict the impact of the physical and cognitive affordances of products on human-product interaction.
  4. Relate form and function of product with users’ experience with them.
  5. Use appropriate user testing methods at necessary steps throughout the design process.
  6. Create prototypes to communicate and gain feedback on design features.
