Course Description
The course introduces the main aspects of industrial design used by designers in their everyday work together with aspects of contemporary design research. Lectures on design management and the design process and environmental concerns are included as well as introduction to modelling techniques. The product is examined from a user centered and sociological perspective. The course also contains an industrially related project in which the insights obtained during the course are practiced. In this project the students work in groups of 3-4 students. Guidance is provided and the workshop is open for the students. The students plan when and how they work during the project. Industrial designers active in industry teach and give feedback on the project work. A field trip to a design bureau is also included.

Course Description
This course focuses on the principles governing the state of motion or rest of bodies under the influence of applied force and torque, according to classical mechanics. The course covers the fundamental principles of the kinematics and kinetics of systems of particles, rigid bodies, planar mechanisms, three-dimensional mechanisms, covering topics including kinematics in various coordinate systems, Newton's laws of motion, work and energy principles, impulse and momentum (linear and angular), gyroscopic motion and vibration. Students develop skills in analyzing and modeling dynamical systems, using both analytical methods and computer-based solutions using MATLAB. Students gain experience in approximating the dynamic behavior of real systems in engineering applications and an appreciation and understanding of the effect of approximations in the development and design of systems in real-world engineering tasks.

Course Description
This module introduces principal modelling techniques in solid mechanics and serves as a macro-mechanical complement to the courses Materials Science 1: Properties of Matter (MAT 100) and Functional Materials (MAT203) focusing on micromechanical aspects of materials science. Fundamental concepts (e.g. Newton's laws, force/movement, stress/strain, energy/work, statics/dynamics, friction/creep/fatigue etc.) will be studied to derive mechanical models for the description of the behaviour of materials. Corresponding applications for real-life design tasks are finally discussed to get insight into basic mechanics-based material selection criteria.

Course Description
In this course students acquire abilities to solve an aerosol technology related problem independently. The work is carried out in a project form under supervision of researchers in aerosol science field. The project consists of an experimental and/or theoretical approach, some examples: performing measurements in real or laboratory settings, developing a new measurement technique, modelling, analysis of datasets, etc. Students gain the ability to identify the problem, choose adequate methods to solve it, develop analysis and evaluation skills, and draw conclusions. The course also trains students in investigative approach and project management which are important skills both at the university education as well as in future workplace.
