Course Leader: Prof. Márta Kisfaludy DLA

Faculty: Rejtő Sándor Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering, 1034 Budapest, Doberdó utca 6.

Course Description:
Knowledge of basic design principles and methods, the main factors that influence the design
of a product or service, and the way in which it is used. Gathering information. Solving
simple design problems by applying design principles in individual and group work.
Modelling, presentation and evaluation of the product.
Designing a functional structure. Philosophy of creation. Model families. Design support
using applied computing.
Systematic design progresses from simple problem statement to more complex projects. The
focus of the course is on product development in team work, primarily through the creation of
functional prototypes according to plans.

Competences:
– Knowledge of basic design principles and methods, major manufacturing processes and operational procedures. – Knowledge of the main materials used in product design, their production and conditions of use. – Knowledge of teamwork ethics and methods. – Ability to design and construct simple products, taking into account the constraints of production technology, expected costs and environmental impact. – Ability to use three-dimensional computer-aided design systems to create virtual models of product concepts and products and to prepare technical documentation. – Ability to create, test and verify real models and prototypes using direct digital manufacturing techniques based on traditional and 3D product models. – Ability to acquire new knowledge by solving practical problems through experience. – Ability to apply computational and modelling principles and methods from the industrial product design literature. – Ability to take into account historical, cultural, socio-economic and industrial context aspects in the process of industrial design and product development. – Ability to analyse design projects using design methods and to justify methodologically the workflows used. – He/she will strive to ensure that his/her self-learning in industrial product and design engineering is continuous and consistent with his/her professional goals. – He/she shall endeavour to ensure that his/her self-training in industrial product and design engineering is continuous and consistent with his/her professional objectives. – Is open to transferring his/her knowledge to his/her colleagues. – He/she is attentive to promoting the professional development of his/her subordinates and to managing and assisting them in this endeavour. – Ensures that the principle of equal access is applied in problem solving

Assessment: Attendance at lectures and practices/labs: Participation in the exercises is compulsory. The number of absences allowed is determined by the Study and Examination Regulations (the number of absences may not exceed 30% of the total number of hours for the semester). Tests, minutes, reports, essays, etc.: Week 2: presentations Week 5: Moodboard upload (edited in A/3 format) Week 12-13: presentations, uploading/submission of project documentation (A/3 poster). Assessment. Week 14: Resubmissions, assessment Method of obtaining a signature/mid-term mark: The method of developing the mid-semester grade is based on the sum of the presentation and documentation evaluations. The final grade will be calculated based on the average of the midterm evaluation of the assessment of the results of the mid-term examination. The relevant rules of the TVSZ apply for making up the grade.

Exam Types:

Mid Term Exam
