Materials

Kurssin rakenne pohjautuu pitkälle kirjaan: Esa Hietikko – Tuotekehitystoiminta (2015). Kurssin läpäisy ei edellytä kirjan hankintaa, sillä REPUSSA oleva materiaali riittää tehtävien suoritukseen.

Teaching methods

Kurssi toteutetaan "käänteinen opetus -tekniikalla" (Flipped classroom). Menetelmässä opiskelija lukee lyhyen osiokohtaisen tekstin etukäteen. Seuraava tunti pohjustetaan lyhyesti edellisellä tunnilla. Tunneilla keskitytään enemmänkin keskustelemaan asiasta ja tehdään osion harjoitus/harjoitukset.

Kurssin läpäisy ei edellytä läsnäoloa – mutta tulethan paikalle aina kun se on mahdollista. Aiheet ovat käytännönläheisiä, eivätkä edellytä varsinaisesti pohjaopintoja - vain noin 10 -sivuisen tekstin lukemisen etukäteen.

Assessment criteria, approved/failed

Hyväksytyn suorituksen raja on 70% maksimipisteistä

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The students understand the significance of systematic commercialisation in industrial business operations.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

The students use a wide range of professional concepts fluently and know the stages of commercialisation. They are able to apply methods of commercialisation during the different stages of the development process and are able to carry out tasks required in the process as members of the planning group.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The students are able to use professional concepts with expertise and can apply their professional competence as required in different situations. They are able to transform an idea in a development project into a commercial product sample independently. The students are able to develop systematic methods and instructions for the planning group so it can produce optimal solutions cost-effectively.

Assessment criteria, approved/failed

The limit of an approved performance is 70% of the maximum points.
