Education

Innovation is an interdisciplinary subject that deals with technical, human and business perspectives on innovation and the innovation process.

If new products and services are to be innovations, it is important to integrate technology with user needs and business models. User-friendliness, technical feasibility, commercial viability and sustainability are important criteria that should be considered for a successful innovation process. Since innovation processes almost always involve a journey into at least partially unknown terrain, it is important to work with an iterative method where experience-based learning is made possible and utilized.

Computer Aided Engineering

The purpose of the course is to give participants a deepened understanding of how innovations of both technical and social character are created.
