Students are able to

• gain an understanding of the fundamentals of the industrial design process and apply this knowledge in practice by implementing it using concrete examples.
• apply the basic knowledge in the industrial design process by means of a practical example (project).
• deal with "bottom up" development processes in the context of functional design applications, especially in the field of consumer goods, and to carry out independent project work that focuses on them.
• understand the fundamentals of industrial design.
• perform bottom-up design processes.
• transform the fundamentals of the process into prototypes.
