Focus of the course is to visualize your design through sketches, illustrations, rendered images and physical models.
The course includes the following topics :
- Color theory
- Morphology
- Aesthetics
- Design methodology
- Product methodology
- Sketching
- CAD
- Free form Techniques
- CNC technology
- Rhetoric and Communication

The course includes the mixture of theoretical and practical elements. Instruction is given as lectures, assignments, projects, and field trips.

The teaching is conducted in English.

Passed courses 180 credits in first cycle, at least 90 credits within the major subject Mechanical Engineering or Civil Engineering (with relevant courses in construction and design), and 15 credits Mathematics. In addition, completed courses Design Communication 1, 9 credits and Design Communication 2, 9 credits and English Language requirements corresponding to English A in the Swedish upper secondary school (or the equivalent).

The course is graded 5,4,3 or Fail.

The final grade for the course is based upon a balanced set of assessments. The final grade will only be issued after satisfactory completion of all assessments.
