An important skill in the professional life of an industrial design is to be able to create products and thereby making product / development decisions within a given set of limitations. These parameters are important factors, which should be used actively, when venturing into design / development of a new product, from idea to finished product. This paper presents the challenges from a course at the Industrial design programme at Aalborg University, with creating, grasping and concretizing the very non-concrete parameters that often appear when initiation a design process [1]. At the same time this paper presents a design thinking [2] approach to some of the possibilities for utilizing this non-concrete information in design specifications, thereby leading to a different design process, building on the principles of Ries [3], facilitating a series of informed, divergent and convergent, thought processes. This paper seeks to describe some of the possibilities in using this process as well as some of the shortcomings. At the same time the paper presents a way of creating a common foundation for addressing / discussing the non-concrete parameters at the beginning of the design process, named the value based mood board tool, which allows the students to reflect upon the difficulties of making decisions and sticking to the consequences. The approach will in this paper be reflected upon from both a student point-of-view and as well as a professional, practicing designers point-of-view.

This paper unfolds how learning for design-engineer students can be established and facilitated in a dynamic research setting, between academics and industrial partners. It challenges years of experience from teaching traditional Problem Based Learning, and it requires new initiatives to ensure the learning of students. Student involvement in research projects appears to be an increasing trend, which is affecting both the practice of research and education. The Danish research project 'Innodoors' investigates, through various initiatives, how User-driven innovation can contribute to innovation and affect the culture of innovation in the building sector. One of the research initiatives was originally probing hypothesizes through student projects, where the students not only play a practical and performing role, but also engage in a rather equal partnership with the academic. This was also the case for the involved industrial design students, but they found it necessary to redefine the initial, given hypothesis, which surprisingly uncovered knowledge deficiencies for both students and academic;yet, it contributed to a mutual learning situation. Educators are facing new challenges with the responsibility of facilitating learning for students, and the student involvement is changed as they are empowered by orchestrating the projects - this is the focal point for the paper.

Motivated by the growing number of hybrid products with extensive software and service components, this paper reviews four representative agile methods from the domain of software for their applicability to both the industrial design education and practice. The review is based on a comparative analysis of the methods through four scopes, including their application spectrum, level of guidance, process coverage and project management capabilities. Based on the analysis, it is argued that agile methods are able to offer design students the tools for bridging the gap between the software development teams and their own domain of physical product development.

In a time of increased demands for documented learning and increased requirements for accreditation of educations based on research, it is unfortunate that the numerous registrations and experiences connected to study trips are not used to disseminate the latest knowledge and to support research findings to a greater extent. Field study instructions for registration within architecture and design, which we are currently developing, specify a didactic grip, structure the collected material and link recorded observations to testing methods. Moreover, the instructions prepare the ground for reflections or analyses and dissemination of observations. The field study instructions are designed in a manner that enables them to deal with current professional issues and thereby contribute to the collection of the latest knowledge. The aim is that the presentation of this knowledge and the gained experience will be of such quality that professionals can benefit from registration when starting up projects. Study trip reports may thus provide a basis for sponsor support. This study looks at the possibilities inherent in study trips, both as a teaching tool and as a tool for gathering knowledge. In this context, the tests of field study instructions have identified that some instructions are appropriate for implementing registrations in connection with study trips, and that some are not.

Many students are unaware of the importance of addressing the somatic sensation in the design process. This is a problem, as the aesthetic effects of products are optimally detected by both mind comprehension and somatic comprehension. However, there has been growing interest in the somatic approach, because as Jon Hewitt states, it is the designers' aim to engage as many senses as possible in order to be aware of a product's character and aesthetics. With the aim of drawing the students' attention to the role of somatic comprehension in the form-generating processes, we have tried out our "reflection model for sensing and development of experience". After each project the model can also be used to encourage the students to be aware of which internal and external realizations the project raised as part of their learning process. Testing of the model yielded a surprising lateral result as it revealed which project groups had worked well and the reasons why other groups had been oppress by lack of common expectations for their project work and common intentions for the project.
