    Pedagogic approaches

    During the course, the students study the basic skills of product development. The students work in groups and produce a new innovative solution to problems of everyday life. The student groups make a project plan, marketing plan and testing plan during the course for their groups' own project. Furthermore, the groups have to track their hours for the whole course. The course culminates in a competition taking place in April where company representatives will evaluate the quality of the student products.

    After completing the course the student can:
    - describe and perform product development process steps
    - create a project plan
    - act as a member of a project group
    - perform technical problem solving in small groups
    - plan, design and document simple programs/products
    - write reports and design promotional materials
    - taking into account patents, laws and directives relating to various products
    - utilize an e-learning platform.
