Study Guide

Learning outcomes

The student is able to
- carry through a material-based design process
- design wood or fibre material based structures
- apply the physiological properties of the material as a basis of design
- create models of the designs

Implementation and methods of teaching

How to complete the course:

1. Active attendance at the course 80%. Attendance is mandatory in the first time.
2. Completing assigned tasks with approval and returning them in the agreed schedule
3. Presenting your own tasks and participating in criticism
4. Course evaluation framework

If you are unable to complete the things required in the course in the given schedule, a replacement schedule and tasks must be agreed with the teacher

Learning material and recommended literature

Lectures, assignments, online course, possible company visits, practice assignments

Alternative completion methods

To be arranged separately with the instructors at the beginning of the course.

Learning environment

Theory classes, workshops, independent study,

Student time use and work load

1 ECTS = 27 hours

Assessment criteria

The course is evaluated based on assignments; the student's activity to participate and return the tasks according to the schedule, the ability to understand and implement the principles of biomaterial-based sustainable design, and the high-quality end result of the main task of implementation.

- apply research narrowly in a design project
- presents his research according to the instructions
- The student participates poorly and is absent without informing the teacher.
- The student hands in the presentation late

Assessment criteria: level 3 (assessment scale 1–5)

The student can:
- make a detailed biomaterial survey or study
- recognizes many material- and structure-oriented methods in product design and manufacturing
- apply research in a design project
- create a comprehensive presentation of your research
- possible absences are justified and notified in advance to the instructors
- The student hands in the presentation late, unless otherwise agreed with the teacher.

Assessment criteria: level 5 (assessment scale 1–5)

The student can:
- do professional material research
- identify and develop new sustainable methods in product design and manufacturing
