教学大纲及教学日历 SYLLABUS
15. 教学目标 Course Objectives
This course aims to apply and practice the core principles of Design Thinking in a real-world engineering project-based
learning. The course is redesigned the traditional Design Thinking course in design university and is tailored for
engineering students to practice engineering and science, engineering ethics and manufacturing process. Focus on
Design Thinking process-based learning, understanding and using methods for defining uncovered engineering
problems, market research, engineering ideation, conceptualisation, manufacturing, and performance evaluation. It
guides students design and innovation principle through the multidisciplinary collaboration project implementation, where
the steps of the design and engineering applications are embedded.
Students will be brought to and practice:
- Design Thinking application in engineering and product development process
- Understanding of relationship between design, engineering and science
- Methods of market research and emphatical user research
- Defining product function and features with engineering solutions
- Product design with suggested manufacturing and production techniques and materials.
16.
预达学习成果 Learning Outcomes
Upon completing the subject, students will gain:
1. Understanding of design as a thinking tool
• Design thinking: Divergent > Convergent thinking processes
• Integration of Design/Engineering/Technology in a pathway to product innovation
• Humanistic design, user- centered/orientated design and empathy
2. Understanding of New Product Development Process
• From quantitative market research and qualitative user research, to product concept, to realization of product
concept with manufacturing requirements.
• Integration of design and engineering practices
• Collaboration of different engineering disciplines including product design
3
3. Knowledge of Product Definition and Requirement Document
• Product Definition Document structure
• Writing skill of Product Definition document
• Understanding of Function and Features
