Aims
The aim of the course is to design the industrial design of a medium-sized product (according to the bachelor's thesis) which will reflect the experience gained during the previous study of industrial design. The aim is also to examine the level of knowledge and skills gained so far in digital design.
The student acquires:
- The ability to elaborate a complex design of a medium difficulty, including the presentation of the achieved results.
- The ability to analyze the problem from the point of view of functional, aesthetic and technical aspects.
- The ability to determine the mutual relations of human-machine-environment system.
