Design and innovation theories

The course includes a product development project completed in groups where students are introduced to research in innovation and design theory. The projects should also be linked to a relevant sub-goal among the UN's global sustainability goals. Methods are analysed and discussed. Furthermore, the focus is on advanced sketching, colour theory, and digital rendering as tools for various purposes throughout the different phases of the design process.

Instruction is in the form of lectures, literature studies, supervised projects, seminars, and independent work under supervision.
