This is a part of Module 12, Bachelor Final Assignment of the Bachelor Industrial Design Engineering. See here for the complete description of this module.
With the Bachelor Final Assignment the student concludes his or her Bachelor's programme Industrial Design Engineering. Conducting the assignment is required to demonstrate capabilities and skills in order to qualify for independent professional practice at the Bachelor level in the field of Industrial Design Engineering. Therefore, this individual assignment is preferably conducted externally at a company or organization involved in product development. Students may choose available assignments or propose themselves an assignment if in cooperation with an external client.
The base contents of a Bachelor Final Assignment's is client-dependent but needs to build upon the courses offered in the programme. In order to prepare an individual plan that is both feasible and meets the programme's requirements, students are obliged to participate in the course 'Developing a Project Plan for the Bachelor Final Assignment'. For approval to start with the own Bachelor Final Assignment, the student needs two-fold consent:
(1) Confirmation from the Examination Board that the Bachelor Final Assignment is the only remaining part of the Bachelor's programme.
(2) Approval of the assignment's contents and approach by the Bachelor Assignment Coordinator (based on the individual project plan).
The project is tutored by an academic staff member from the Bachelor's programme and also supervised by a company-tutor. Examination of the assignment takes place during an individual oral exam conducted by the programme's tutor, company-tutor and an examiner. Mandatory means for examination are: (a) a report on the assignment's approach and results delivered by the student; (b) final presentation during the exam; (c) development process as demonstrated by the student; (d) the student's project deliverables (e.g. a concept, prototype, production plan, etc.), and (e) the defence during oral examination.
For passing the Bachelor Final Assignment, the student needs to demonstrate the following qualifications:
- The student can realise new or modified artefacts, products or systems, with the aim of creating value in accordance with predefined needs and requirements.
- The student is familiar with contemporary knowledge and has the ability to increase and develop this through study.
- The student has a systematic approach characterised by the use of theories, models and coherent interpretations, has a critical attitude and has insight into the nature of science and technology.
- The student is able to adequately reason, reflect and form a judgment. These abilities are acquired within the context of a discipline and made applicable within the assignment.
- The student is able to work with and for others. This not only requires adequate interaction and a sense of ownership, but also the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, clients, (end) users, suppliers, experts and laymen.
