Research and Design is a mandatory course in which the student is introduced to the research methodology and statistics relevant for industrial design engineering. Research practice from the staff of the faculty will be the leading thread for this course. The course coaches will introduce their own area of scientific expertise to the students who work in groups of five. Within the presented research area the students are, supervised by their coach, expected to write a research proposal including formulating a research question and conducting a small pilot experiment. The research proposal is written according to the scientific paper structure. Relevant statistical skills will be taught and practiced in parallel sessions.
