  • Project-based product development education
    Novak, Marina, 1959- ; Dolšak, Bojan
    The primary goal of innovative design is to develop cost and functionally effective products that meet the demands of the market. Product development is a very complex process. At the Faculty of ... mechanical engineering, University of Maribor, the students are acquainted with this process in the third year of their study at the subject Fundaments and Methods of Engineering Design. The mechanical engineering design education system includes many subjects, which give to the students a lot of basic knowledge. Usually, the students study each of the subjects separately, and have thus difficulties to build the complex knowledge scheme by themselves. Besides, the traditional way of the study is theoretical and individual. Consequently, using their knowledge the students do not know how to deal with real-life problems, especially when they start to work in practice. In this respect theaim of our subject is not only to present the complexity of design, but also to simulate the product real-life development process and to prepare thestudents for their future work in practice through the project- based teamwork. In this paper, our experiences gained in the project-based design education process will be presented along with some students' achievements.
