Advanced Prototyping Project

The 'Advanced Prototyping Project' course has a multi-disciplinary project based setup. Students will work in project teams on a real world research and/or design challenge, relating to possibilities of digital fabrication and/or extended reality technology. A company or researcher will act as client to the project. Students have an option to state a preference for a project, and we aim to present a diverse range of project from different domain areas such as smart and bio-based materials and products, medical applications, cultural heritage experiences, architecture and building engineering, and mobility design.

Besides that, students will follow several workshops on transferable skills (e.g. product/prototype photography, video making, pitching, material testing, user observation research), which are related to prototyping in a research and development process. Students will apply these skills throughout the project.

Final results will be presented at the final exhibition of the course (at a public venue), offering the opportunity to show your project results to a wider audience.
