Teaching methods

A product development project is typically a collaborative project carried out with a company or another client. It is related to the client’s product development or other development projects. The course may also be connected to the university of applied sciences’ own research and development activities. The specific content of the course is defined on a project-specific basis and may vary among participating students. However, agreements regarding this are made as needed with the project’s client and supervisors.

The course emphasizes project-based learning, collaborative learning, and independent learning

Content scheduling

After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- design and implement a simple integration project of health technology information systems
- participate in purposeful research and development work as a responsible member of a project team.
- understand the significance of project goals and success within the context of the client’s business.
- work according to tight project schedules in collaboration with other project team members and the client.
- apply technical expertise to solve project challenges.
- document their work results clearly and comprehensibly, presenting them to other project team members and the client. The specific learning objectives for the course are defined on a project-specific basis.

During the course, students first take part in an introductory lecture about health tech communications. Next there will be 3 days of intensive lectures, 8 hours each day. After that they work in small groups on a product development project related to a pre-agreed topic. This topic is determined during the first contact session of the course. Afterward, the small groups collaborate with the client and the supervising teacher to advance the product development project. There are weekly guidance meetings with both the client and the supervising teacher. At the end of the course, the groups compile their work into a document and present their results to other participants in a joint closing event.
