Hot Team - innovation project

The student will carry out a product/service design development project in interdisciplinary teams with students from different departments and educational programs. The project is conducted together with the students of the Bachelor Programme in Industrial Design at Umeå Institute of Design and is highly focused on "Design Thinking". The goal of the study is to gain insight into innovative teamwork, focusing on interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation issues. The student will, through practical application, issue an applied project in an interdisciplinary team with an external company, organisation or authority. The student will reflect on and apply group mechanisms and individual factors that affect their innovations - both for the individual student and for the team they participate in and reflect on differences between project work and interdisciplinary teamwork.
