Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Describe and value different design processes, and what sets them apart.
- Describe what the different parts of a design process consists of.
- Describe and articulate an arbitrary design process.
- Apply knowledge of design processes in in a development project.
- Describe the regulations that a construction company must follow in their construction work.
Course Content
The course covers the theory and practice in the design and development process, and the characteristics of an effective design process. The course teaches different types of construction processes, and what sets them apart. The different parts of a design process are reviewed. For example, the start up of design work, specifications, calculation and dimensioning, regulatory requirements and standards, drawing and CAD, design review, other departmental requirements for the design, testing, documentation, design approval, and release of a product. In the workshops the students deal with, among other things, the directive of machinery and drawing reviews. In a development project, students apply their knowledge of design processes.
