Product Design and Development

About

This course is designed to teach students the foundational skills needed to design industrial products. The course will be divided into theoretical lessons, practical exercises, and hands-on project.
The specific brief linked to the Basque roots for this year is: "Design new solutions reusing discarded materials from the Basque traditional Cider Houses, combining circular design and craftsmanship”. Students will be guided through the different steps of the design process, introducing them to: field work research, contextual research tools, concept generation and selection tools, circular design strategies, 3D modeling and rendering software and prototyping techniques, such as 3D printing and laser cutting. By the end, students will have the knowledge to design innovative products with a deep understanding of the available materials and user needs.
