1. To develop concepts generated previously to complete working prototypes 2. To apply advanced digital and physical prototyping tools to materialize proposed concepts 3. To present and apply approaches for prototype testing with users 4. To define final materials and production processes 5. To research and analyze potential to register Intellectual Property 6. To elaborate detailed description of Intellectual Property aiming to patent file 7. To define potential business model for the solution 8. To identify and detail potential partnerships and alternatives for market introduction 9. To prepare and deliver presentations of the proposed solutions for users, potential partners, and general public
In this course, students develop a previous concept to a real working product prototype. There is a strong focus on advanced prototyping in order to bring product closer to final solution. Students also work to define potential business model and alternatives for market introduction.
1. Advanced prototyping phase: digital prototyping and rapid prototyping. 2. User testing and feedback phase: user testing and concept selection. 3. Intellectual property. 4. Business model and partnerships. 5. Definitions for potential market introduction.
