Aim:
The main objective is for students to develop their inter-disciplinary design skills within a given challenge relating to societal and technical contexts. After the completed course the student shall be able to
- Articulate the contributions of diverse design disciplines to solving wicked problems,
- Identify and articulate the systems perspective on products/goods
- Integrate, apply and reflect on design track skills in relationship to the challenge area
- Identify which aspects of a design (process) are most worthy of external communication, and implement this in an exhibition setting,
- Identify different historical and current design approaches to tackling the specific challenge of the studio, and articulate the differences with regard to underlying philosophy and implications,
- Demonstrate the ability to identify the personal need for further knowledge and take responsibility for his or her ongoing learning,
- Articulate how their design skills have both deepened and widened, explicitly including in relation to design as a crafts-based approach.

Course contents:
Students will engage with wicked problems that presents design challenges on the level of systems, services, interactions and tangible objects. Examples of such challenges could be the prevention of food waste or facilitating actual repair of products. Solutions developed will explore viability, technical feasibility and desirability.
