Profile of Competence

What is Integrated Design?

The education aims that the students acquire a broad base for his further career, while he through project work and electives can immerse himself in selected areas. Labor makes great demands on all participants, for example:

  • Cooperation capacity, creativity, initiative, perseverance, responsibility, positive attitude and flexibility
  • Ability to seek, evaluate, select and disseminate information
  • Ability to communicate in writing and orally, and also internationally
  • Ability to effectively acquire new knowledge and take care of their own learning

Jurisdictional focus on that a design engineer can conclude innovative in complex product development cycle, especially with emphasis on the idea and concept.

 

A B.Eng. in Integrated Design:

  • Have a thorough knowledge of integrated product development and design, and is able to bring holistically, addressing all relevant aspects (e.g. technical, design, economic, market, legal and social) as a basis for developing new products from idea to finished product
  • Acquire practical experience through several project cycle of planning, development and assessment of natural products (components, parts and wholes) with supporting documentation in connection with the manufacture, sale, installation, commissioning, daily operation and disposition of recycling or scrapping
Bachelor Diploma
  • Have a basic knowledge of (product) design and architecture in a historical and societal perspective, and understand what characterizes a good design, especially in terms of functionality, usability and idiom. This is achieved through theory instruction, case studies and the inclusion of aspects in all projects
  • Have a thorough knowledge of integrated product development and design, and is able to bring holistically, addressing all relevant aspects (e.g. technical, design, economic, market, legal and social) as a basis for developing new products from idea to finished product
  • Acquire practical experience through several project cycle of planning, development and assessment of natural products (components, parts and wholes) with supporting documentation in connection with the manufacture, sale, installation, commissioning, daily operation and disposition of recycling or scrapping
  • Have a basic knowledge of (product) design and architecture in a historical and societal perspective, and understand what characterizes a good design, especially in terms of functionality, usability and idiom. This is achieved through theory instruction, case studies and the inclusion of aspects in all projects
  • Have experience and knowledge of the construction of natural products and are able to apply the requisite knowledge of engineering disciplines as statics, dynamics, mechatronics, and materials and enhance learning in the analysis and synthesis
  • Have received training in basic technical and scientific disciplines with a focus on engineering application of the methodology in relevant areas
  • Will plan, manage and implement development projects within the given economic and time frames. This is achieved through theory classes, cases and requirements for review of planning, calculations, project economics and follow-up evaluation process in all projects
  • Can use sketching and drawing as a means of communication and creative development tool, and can use computer-based tools for design and documentation
  • Can meet the requirement to use sketches as a daily working tool. Must be able to prepare a technical documentation in accordance with current standards and regulations in connection with the projects
  • Have a thorough knowledge of materials and processes in general and particularly in plastics, composites and metals. Has thorough knowledge of joining methods and coatings and focus on process-related design
  • Have followed the theory of teaching with self-absorption in selected areas and met requirements for the project context, to explain the relationship between selected design, material, process and costs
