The course deals with the design process from a theoretical and methodological perspective. A deeper knowledge of users and their contexts is derived through lectures and assignments regarding User-Centered Design. In addition, the course transitions from UCD to Humanity-Centered Design - HCD where the student can explore how we as humans interact with the systems around us and how this interaction shapes our behaviour.
This knowledge is practically applied through a set of practical assignments which span from design idea to a formulated design concept.
The final assignment of the course is an individual project where the student articulates his/her own design process and practically implements all parts of this process.
The course 1IK433 is also divided into three modules:
M1 - Design Methods and Processes + Behaviour Change
M2 - User-Centered Design + Humanity-Centered Design
M3 - Individual Project
