Project

In Module 7 of the Industrial Design Engineering bachelor, students designed a product tailored to a specific user’s needs and desires. Using processes like codesign, team members collaboratively explored ideas and developed solutions, with the user’s input playing a central role. This approach placed key decisions in the hands of the participants, ensuring the final design aligned closely with their preferences and expectations
