Brief outline

The programme will develop knowledge of creative problem solving by studying the process from idea to finished product. The students will acquire skills within computer simulation as well as conventional laboratory testing. Insight will be given into which materials should be chosen and how to calculate both static and dynamic strengths. Emphasis will also be placed on the choice of production method and how production processes are designed.
Fundamental subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, information technology and online learning play a central role in the Industrial Design and Technology Management programme. The programme focuses on management by including subjects such as project management, production management, quality management, organisational culture and improvement processes. In addition, the curriculum draws from the resources of local industrial partners at Raufoss, where the students will be given hands-on experience throughout the duration of the programme.
Students of Industrial Design and Technology Management will, among other things:

• Learn the use of computerised tools for simulation, animation, choice of materials, drawing, calculation and presentation of both ideas and process management.
• Learn how to sort information and how to use the internet and different databases as tools to access the latest in scientific research and development.
• Learn about choosing and testing materials, choosing design, testing by the use of prototypes, carrying out calculations of strength, choosing production processes and determining quality.
• Acquire an insight into management and economics that are necessary to be able to manage production, departments or even an entire company.

Those who lack the necessary courses in mathematics or physics, but still wish to become a bachelor of Industrial Design and Technology Management, can apply for admission in our ” Tresemester ” program.
