Teams of students will be formed to tackle a product development project which is initiated by an industry client’s brief and through to the building and testing of a prototype product. The teams consult with their client throughout the project and present the final solution to them.
Global Design (Project Module)
Taught content is delivered to students covering key aspects and tools for the participation in and management of distributed design projects. Student teams then collaborate with corresponding teams of students based at a foreign institution on a product development project supported by the relevant communications and project management technology and techniques. Students can expect to work with others from institutions in the USA, Australia and other global locations.
