Foundations of Future Industries - Industry in Context Project

Knowledge

None

Description

In this project, students are introduced to a specific industry context and are guided in understanding, shaping, and solving the problem to achieve a prototypical solution (for example, integrating sensors into an assembly line, human-robot interaction, robot programming, etc.). This includes stakeholder management, learning about innovation landscapes in the industry, business constraints, and responsible innovation. The project itself comprises technical innovation in an industry-related field, such as robotics, internet-of-things, supply chain management, or human-in-the-loop simulation for operator training and research.

Learning objectives

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to 

•    Apply the theoretical knowledge of ethnographic methods into practice
•    Apply a range of these methods in a specific social context, addressing a specific research question
•    Plan, coordinate, and execute field work as a team
•    Create unique insights for a particular social context
•    Present these insights to a particular target audience
