The modular construction of the Semester
This semester focuses on Scandinavian Design and the challenges thereby. The
semester consists of a project module (15 ECTS) and three course modules (3 x 5
ECTS).
The work load for one semester is 30 ETCS corresponding 900 hours of study work
for each student. The semester is conducted qua a series of project- and course
modules further described in this document.
The work load may vary throughout the semester and in the individual project- and
course modules. It is the semester coordinator’s responsibility in cooperation with the
steering committee to assure the total work load does not exceed 900 hours. Please
note, free study activities are offered as a supplement to each student and does not
take part of the approved curriculum.
The semester consists of four modules that will be examined individually. The course
modules are principally independent but together they establish a significant
foundation for the semester. The planning of the semester aims to support the
progression of the project module in the course modules.

Evaluation format C – Project module with external examination
The module is assessed by an oral assessment based on written material, typically a jointly prepared
(or in exceptional cases, prepared by the individual student) project module report (containing the
report/analyses/posters/drawings/models or similar). It is further presumed that the student has
regularly and actively participated in evaluation seminars and the like.
The module is assessed with external examination.
The written material for submission is submitted in physical form to the semester secretary.
The project is concluded with a project closing of max. 45 min. It is a precondition for participation in
the examination that students have participated in the project closing. The entire project is presented
with equal participation of all the group members. The starting point for the examination is the project
report and the project closing presentation, cf. Examination Policies and Procedures: http://www.teknat.aau.dk/digitalAssets/18/18291_eksamensordning-_engelsk.pdf)
The allotted time for assessment is in practice 20-30 min. per examinee depending on group sizes, as
there must be time for voting.
The starting point of the exam is the evaluation criteria as they appear in the curriculum and this study
guide. The assessment is based on a combined evaluation of the report and the oral performance.
Examiner and external examiner are involved in the assessment along with the examinee.
Grading is according to the 7-point marking scale.

Projektbeskrivelse: Titel
Indhold og
tema
The projekt module ’Scandinavian Design’ intends to train professional collaboration
through the establishment of a practical design project for a scandinavian company,
where each project group simulates the work of a design studio and external
consultant for the client company.
In the autumn 2011 we will collaborate with the company ’Hagens Fjedre’ in
Støvring, south of Aalborg. Hagens Fjedre is a sub deliverer in springs and
associated products and services for manufacturers and retailers within a wide range
of product categories.
Each Project Group will select a product category, make a design brief and design a
product line to support Hagens’ position as an important link in the value chain. The
product line should be developed on the basis of concept development, studies,
modeling, tests and sketching with relevant medias and methods.
The group’s choice of category and concept should be decided in consultation with
the supervisor to ensure that the product provides adequate engineering and design
challenges.
The relation to the chosen market should be considered and proposals for value
chains and business models according to Oestwalds Strategy Canvas.
Digital visualization and similar relevant media should be used to document
significant solutions to technical problems in construction, such as joints or functional
problems. Materials and process choices and aesthetic/semiotic dispositions should
12
Studievejledning MSc01-ID E2011
be described and argued.
The project group should carry out analysis and optimization of production costs for
at least one significant component, and the project report should have a separate
section which describes a technological problem that the group has specifically
chosen to solve.
Instruction
The Project module is started up already in the beginning of the semester
immediately after the excursion to Copenhagen. We will start up by looking at a
range of somewhat related study projects and try to set up the structure and
principles for the project in a joint discussion involving students and supervisors.
This discussion will take place after the visit to the collaborating enterprise where
Hagens’ production is observed and the project’s focus deepened and clarified in the
dialogue with the company staff. On this basis each group will make a design brief
identifying the project assignment, direction and success criteria.
The design process will stretch over several months interrupted by scheduled
courses. Still we will try to keep some days open (typically Mondays) for project
work. We also intend to set up some kind of digital blog that will enable project
supervisors to follow each groups work and provide ongoing digital feedback to
support regular meetings with supervisors and consultants. The company
representative, Torben Shaltz from Hagens, has also offered supervision of each
individual group following a schedule to be decided in the project start.
We will furthermore set up at least one joint status seminar, where company
representatives participate.
Learning objectives/ Problem Based Project work
See curriculum text in section 6.1
Methods
The project will be based upon Project- and Problem Based principles supported by
a range of course units that are examined independently. Since the admission
criteria for the studies is a bachelor’s degree with both a technical and a design
development-oriented profile, it is expected that the project groups will use methods
from both areas.
The semester also introduces a number of methods that are typically seen in
corporate governance and the commercially oriented professions, and it is expected
that the student groups themselves are able to select and apply methods appropriate
for solving main- and subproblems they face in the attempt to design a product and
it’s product platform.
It is expected that students are able to apply a classical Scandinavian design
methodological approach meaning continuous simultaneous handling of major and
minor design aspects in relation to the context of use, aesthetics, function and
production. It is expected that students are able to apply relevant engineering
methods and models to develop and possibly optimize specific technical areas in
relation to the project focus. Furthermore the students, studying at an academic
institution, should reflect on their own efforts and results and hence contribute to the
continuous development and sharing of knowledge through their specific experience.
Most of the semester students are experienced in project group work, and it is
expected that the students in the project flow will further develop such skills. But
each individual student should also consider using this project to train and develop
other skills that he/she needs to improve.
Students who have not applied with a bachelor degree from AAU should participate
in an introductory PBL course on 3th and 4th of September, and these students will
be distributed evenly in the groups to ensure the best synergy through the semester.

The product architecture can be defined as the overall structure of a product or a
product family. In many cases the product architecture has been defined in partly
unconscious ways and thereby created limitations in the ways the product or
service can be customized or developed further. The lecture will focus on various
ways of determining, analysing and communication a specific product architecture.

The objective in this lecture is to introduce a framework for user- and market
oriented methods. The framework shows the differences and overlaps of the two
approaches - in terms of the knowledge they create and how they can be applied
in the development of new offerings.
The framework further shows why it is relevant to segment and profile users from
both user-centred design and marketing perspectives.
Furthermore, the lecture introduces participatory design, which is fundamental to
the Scandinavian design tradition.

Generelt om kursets indhold
Dette kursus har et så bredt fokus, at det også indholdsmæssigt når rundt om både
teknisk/konstruktive og æstetiske elementer koblet med analyser af produktdesign
i praksis og mindre øvelser. Kurset fokuserer især på de designmæssige
udfordringer, der ligger i detaljens bearbejdning og samspillet med helheden.
Kurset har groft set 2 hovedafsnit:
1. Danish Detail
2. Konstruktion – observation og simulering
1. Danish Detail afvikles som et 4 dages forløb, efter at de fleste studerende på
de 2 første dage har opsat og deltaget i pasningen af A&D’s stand på CODE 2011
i Bella Centeret, København, hvor A&D-studerendes projekter udstilles den 1. og
2.september.
De 2 dage er afsat til forelæsning på Dansk Design Center i København, og
registreringer på udstillingen ”Denmark by Design”, samt besøg på
designvirksomheder i hovedstaden med oplæg om temaet ”Devil in the Detail” og
løsningen af opgaven i forbindelse hermed.
De individuelle opgaver løses af de studerende på messen og ved de
efterfølgende udstillings- og tegnestuebesøg, og de individuelle observationer
samles til et ’Danish Detail’ – notat.
Den tredje dag er afsat til selvstændigt arbejde med at færdiggøre ”Danish Detail”notater.
Den 4.dag, som ligger 3 uger senere, gennemføres et heldagsworkshop, hvor
holdets samlede observationer om konstruktive og æstetiske forhold diskuteres
med faglig bistand af kursusholder/e
2. Konstruktion – observation og simulering (RETTES AF KBN)
I dette forløb arbejdes konkret med at simulere konstruktive forhold i forbindelse
med plastkonstruktioner. Teori, metoder og redskaber for simulering med både
digitale og fysiske modeller i forskellige skalaer præsenteres ,hvorefter de
studerende observerer plastemner i mindre grupper og afprøver metoder for
forbedring eller optimering af fysiske og konstruktive egenskaber. Afslutningvis
skitseres muligt redesign af detalje fra plastemne eller dele heraf.

Scandinavian Industrial design
When design in Scandinavia entered the era of Industrial design it was still based
on the craftsman` attention and care for materials, surfaces and details, building on
values like honesty, simplicity and democracy. Along with the industrial era and
emergence of new materials and production methods the designers became
involved in design of products including new technology.
This lecture will examine how design in Denmark managed the transition from
Design to Industrial Design and present examples of focal points, products and
details from the different Scandinavian countries.

10.1 Bilag 1: Plagiering og korrekte referencer
Vigtige retningslinjer vedrørende plagiering og korrekte referencer.
Brugen af Internettet gør det nemt at finde kilder og gode tekster, der beskriver
spørgsmål, der er relevante for dit projekt. Desværre gør Internettet det også
lettere at misbruge sådanne kilder, fordi alt kan kopieres ind i dine egne
dokumenter. Dette er imidlertid ulovlig plagiering. Der tages stærkt afstand herfra,
og det skal for enhver pris undgås. Det samme gælder selvfølgelig trykte kilder.
I det hele taget skal du ikke bruge en anden forfatters vendinger, medmindre der er
en særlig grund hertil. I sådanne tilfælde skal vendingerne markeres klart i
rapporten ved at skrive dem med kursiv eller i anførselstegn kombineret med en
henvisning til forfatteren. Hvis du undlader at gøre dette, er det plagiering. Også
selv om du ikke havde til hensigt at snyde.
Omskrivning af en forfatters arbejde skal forsynes med korrekt kildehenvisning.
Det er ikke tilladt at præsentere en anden forfatters idé uden at referere til
forfatteren. Hvis dette undlades, er det plagiering. Diagrammer, figurer, tabeller,
fotos og andre grafiske repræsentationer, der er baseret på en kilde, skal forsynes
med korrekte kildehenvisninger. Hvis dette undlades, er det plagiering. Dette
gælder også, hvis du selv laver en genskabelse af den pågældende
repræsentation.
Vi har tilpasset en tommelfingerregel fra Oxford Universitet, der siger, at “hvis 6
eller flere på hinanden følgende ord er de samme som i kilden”, så skal de
markeres som et citat som beskrevet ovenfor og klart forsynes med
kildehenvisning. Desuden – igen inspireret af Oxford Universitet – ”skal færre end
6 ord også sættes i anførselstegn, når du låner en særlig træffende eller slående
vending”.
Hvis du anfører sådanne kildehenvisninger, viser det, du er en belæst studerende,
der kender studiets fagområde.
Plagiering er fuldstændig uacceptabelt og vil medføre afvisning af rapporten og
bortvisning af den studerende fra Aalborg Universitet.
Omfattende brug af korrekt refererede citater fra enkelte kilder – ~fra 1/3 side eller
mere – med den begrundelse, at “de skriver det bedre, end vi kan” er ikke
plagiering og derfor ikke ulovligt. Det er imidlertid et dårligt skøn og betragtes som
dårligt studenterarbejde, hvilket giver et generelt dårligt indtryk. Omfattende brug af
korrekt refererede citater fra enkelte kilder kan selvfølgelig være relevant under
særlige omstændigheder, som fx hvis du ønsker at diskutere et EU-direktiv, hvor
det kan være passende at anvende fx en hel side til den faktiske tekst.
Der findes mange referencesystemer. Brug et system konsekvent gennem hele
rapporten og gennem hele processen inklusive kladder. En sjusket
referencemetodologi under forberedelsen af kladder vil give problemer, når du skal
skrive den endelige rapport. Du vil sandsynligvis glemme, at dele af din tekst
faktisk er citater – og disse dele vil blive betragtet som plagiering i den afleverede
rapport. Aalborg Universitets bibliotek tilbyder studerende kursus i
referencehåndtering i Refworks. Se nærmere herom på:

Studievejledning MSc01-ID E2011
http://www.aub.aau.dk/studerende/refworks/.
Bruger du imidlertid ikke et referencehåndteringprogram, anbefaler vi dig at bruge
Chicago-stilen (Harvards efterfølger), som du kan læse en nærmere beskrivelse af
på: http://wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au/find/citation/chicago.html
Hvis du er i tvivl, spørg din vejleder.
10.2 Bilag 2: Retningslinjer for samarbejdsvanskeligheder
Samarbejdsvanskeligheder internt i projektgruppen
Såfremt der opstår alvorlige samarbejdsvanskeligheder i en projektgruppe, skal
Studienævnet for Arkitektur og Design efter en skriftlig anmodning fra gruppen eller
fra en/flere studerende, ledsaget af en skriftlig udtalelse fra hovedvejlederen,
vurdere, om der er grund til indgriben. Herunder i værste fald deling af
projektgruppen eller udelukkelse af studerende fra projektgruppen. Anmodning om
behandling af sådanne samarbejdsvanskeligheder skal være Studienævnet for
Arkitektur og Design i hænde senest 1. december eller 1. maj.
Samarbejdsvanskeligheder mellem projektgruppe og vejledere
Såfremt der opstår alvorlige samarbejdsvanskeligheder mellem en projektgruppe
og dens vejleder(e), skal Studienævnet for Arkitektur og Design efter skriftlig
anmodning fra gruppen eller vejleder(e) søge sagen løst, herunder vurdere om der
er grund til at fremskaffe en ny vejleder/nye vejledere til gruppen. Anmodning om
behandling af sådanne samarbejdsvanskeligheder skal være Studienævnet for
Arkitektur og Design i hænde senest 15. november eller 1. april.
10.3 Bilag 3: Reeksamen
(se eksamensordning s. 19-23)
http://www.tek-nat.aau.dk/digitalAssets/14/14648_eksamensordning201210.pdf
8. Reeksamination, omprøve og sygeeksamen
Reeksamination37, omprøve38 og/eller sygeeksamen39 i en undervisningsaktivitet
afholdes i tidsrummet mellem ordinære prøver for studerende, der har krav herpå i
overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i afsnit 8.2 eller 8.4. Sygeeksamen
afholdes som regel samtidig med reeksamination.
Såfremt den studerende ikke har bestået undervisningsaktiviteten efter den
ordinære prøve eller den umiddelbart følgende reeksamination eller sygeeksamen,
skal vedkommende følge undervisnings-aktiviteten på ny, under normale
omstændigheder ved 3. prøveforsøg. I så tilfælde gælder de normale regler for
prøveformen, og den studerende skal skriftligt tilmelde sig undervisningsaktiviteten
via STADS Selvbetjening.
Ved 3., 4. og 5. forsøg i interne prøver, der alene bedømmes af eksaminator, kan
den studerende ved skriftlig henvendelse til studienævnet stille krav om, at der
deltager en censor. Meddelelsen skal være modtaget af studienævnet senest 3
uger før prøvens afholdelse.
8.1. Antal prøveforsøg mv.
En studerende har ret til i alt 3 prøveforsøg.
Beståede prøver kan ikke tages om. En prøve der er bestået, skal dog tages om,
såfremt det i studie-ordningen kræves, at to eller flere prøver, herunder den
beståede, skal bestås i samme semester, og den studerende ikke har opnået
dette. Består en prøve af flere delprøver, kan en ikke-bestået delprøve ikke tages
om, såfremt den samlede prøve er bestået, og der ikke i studieordningen er fastsat
en bestemt karakter for beståelse af delprøven.
37
Studievejledning MSc01-ID E2011
Studienævnet kan, efter ansøgning, tillade et 4. og 5. prøveforsøg, såfremt der
foreligger usædvanlige forhold. I vurderingen af om der foreligger usædvanlige
forhold, kan spørgsmålet om studieegnethed ikke indgå.
Dekanen kan undtagelsesvis for studerende, der er tilmeldt en bachelor-, kandidateller masteruddannelse,40 og i øvrigt på samme vilkår som ovenfor anført, give
dispensation til mere end fem prøveforsøg, Dette gælder specielt med henblik på
den studerende der alene mangler at bestå en enkelt prøve for at have gennemført
uddannelsen. Ansøgning herom indgives til Fakultetskontoret.
For studerende, der er tilmeldt en professionsbachelor- eller diplomuddannelse,41
kan Undervisningsministeriet give dispensation til mere end fem eksamensforsøg,
såfremt der foreligger usædvanlige forhold. Ansøgning herom indgives til
Fakultetskontoret, der vil varetage den videre sagsbehandling.
8.2. Afholdelse af og deltagelse i reeksamination og sygeeksaminer
Den studerende kan kun deltage i reeksamination, såfremt vedkommende i
samme semester har deltaget42 i den ordinære prøve, eller hvis der foreligger en
tilladelse fra studienævnet.
Den studerende kan kun indstille sig til sygeeksamen, såfremt der er indgivet
lægeattest i overensstemmelse med det i afsnit 8.3 anførte
Reeksamination eller sygeeksamen afholdes kun, såfremt der er studerende, der i
henhold til ovenstående har ret til at deltage i eksamen.
Datoen for afholdelse af reeksamination og/eller sygeeksaminer samt sted og
begyndelsestidspunkt for prøven meddeles i overensstemmelse med
bestemmelserne i afsnit 1.1. Studerende, der har krav på at komme til
reeksamination eller sygeeksamen skal have mulighed herfor inden for følgende
frister:
1) Ved ordinære prøver afholdt i løbet af forårssemesteret (sommereksamen):
Senest i august.
2) Ved ordinære prøver afholdt i løbet af efterårssemesteret (vintereksamen):
Senest i februar.
8.3. Dokumenteret sygdom og sygeeksamen
I tilfælde af sygdom skal uddannelsessekretæren kontaktes hurtigst muligt.
Ved udeblivelse fra en prøve som følge af sygdom registreres den studerende som
”udeblevet”, medmindre der til uddannelsessekretæren afleveres en lægeattest der
dokumenterer, at vedkommende var syg på tidspunktet for prøvens afholdelse. Det
samme gælder, såfremt den studerende som følge af sygdom bliver nødt til at
forlade eksamenslokalet under prøvens afholdelse.
En lægeattest kan i almindelighed kun accepteres som dokumentation for gyldig
grund til udeblivelse såfremt den studerende har konsulteret lægen på selve
eksamensdagen. Eventuelle udgifter til indhentning af attesten afholdes af den
studerende.
Lægeattesten skal afleveres senest to uger efter prøvens afholdelse. Ved rettidig
aflevering af lægeattesten registreres den udeblevne i stedet som ”syg”, og
udeblivelsen tæller således ikke som et prøveforsøg.
Sygeeksamen afholdes på de vilkår som gælder for reeksamination.
8.4. Omprøve
Herved forstås en ekstraordinær (dvs. uden for de ordinære prøveterminer
placeret) afholdelse af prøve i en undervisningsaktivitet, hvor afholdelsen er
foranlediget af, at den studerende i forbindelse med en klage- eller ankesag er
blevet tilbudt reeksamination, eller at prøven, i forbindelse med en klage- eller
ankesag eller på grund af opståede mangler ved prøven, er blevet annulleret og
der foranstaltes reeksamination.
Såfremt en studerende ønsker at acceptere et tilbud om omprøve, skal
vedkommende rette henvendelse til studienævnet inden udløbet af den frist der er
fastsat i forbindelse med afgivelsen af tilbuddet. Fristen regnes fra det tidspunkt
hvor den studerende har modtaget tilbuddet. Accepteres tilbuddet ikke rettidigt,
bortfalder det.
38
Studievejledning MSc01-ID E2011
8.5. Reeksamination i projekter
Reeksamination i et projekt kan foregå på én af følgende måder:
a) Den studerende bedømmes efter tilsvarende regler som ved den forudgående
afholdelse af prøve på grundlag af den oprindelige projektrapport.
b) Den studerende afleverer inden udløbet af en med hovedvejlederen aftalt
tidsfrist på ny en projektrapport der i forhold til den oprindelige rapport er revideret
og/eller udbygget. Afleveringen sker ved, at den studerende fremsender det nye
projektgrundlag til de involverede eksaminatorer, censorer samt eventuelle
vejledere, der ikke er udpeget som bedømmere. Den studerende bedømmes efter
tilsvarende regler som ved den forudgående afholdelse af prøve, men på basis af
det nye projektgrundlag.
c) Den studerende afleverer inden udløbet af en fastsat frist en projektrapport med
et godkendt emne.44 På baggrund af det nye projektgrundlag afholdes prøve efter
tilsvarende regler som ved den forudgående afholdelse af prøve.
d) Den studerende kan deltage i undervisningsaktiviteten på ny og bedømmes
herefter på baggrund af et nyt projekt.
Skyldes behovet for reeksamination, at den studerende ikke har bestået prøven,
skal der på hovedvejlederens foranledning og senest 8 dage efter prøvens
afholdelse udarbejdes en kort, skriftlig redegørelse der tilsendes den studerende
og studienævnet. Redegørelsen skal omfatte information om årsagen til, at den
studerendes præstation ikke kunne anses for at opfylde projektets mål, samt en
begrundet indstilling der angiver på hvilken af ovenstående måder, reeksamination
bør foregå. I tilknytning hertil gives vejledning til den studerende om hvilke
forbedringer der vil kunne føre til, at den studerende kan opfylde projektets mål.
Studienævnet træffer beslutning om den måde hvorpå reeksaminationen skal
foregå. Beslutningen træffes på baggrund af en evt. indstilling fra hovedvejlederen
samt en udtalelse fra den studerende, der indhentes med et varsel på mindst én
uge. For så vidt angår kandidatspecialer kan kun fremgangsmåde c) anvendes i
overensstemmelse med rammestudieordningens bestemmelser herom.45
Tidspunktet for afholdelse af prøven fastlægges af studienævnet efter indstilling fra
hovedvejlede-ren og den studerende med 4 ugers varsel. Fristen kan være kortere
end 4 uger såfremt den studerende er indforstået hermed.
Tilsvarende procedure anvendes ved eventuelle yderligere reeksaminationer.
8.6. Reeksamination i kurser
Reeksamination i kurser afholdes normalt senest 8 arbejdsuger efter den ordinære
prøve. Datoen for prøvens afholdelse meddeles de studerende i
overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i afsnit 1.1. Der skal ske en individuel og
skriftlig tilmelding hos uddannelsessekretæren. Eksaminator kan beslutte, at
reeksamination i kurser har en anden prøve- eller bedømmelsesform end den
ordinære prøve. Vælges en anden prøve- eller bedømmelsesform, skal dette
meddeles de studerende senest samtidig med meddelelse om datoen for prøvens
afholdelse.
Ved reeksamination i kurser deltager altid en censor.
En studerende der anden gang skal have sin undervisningsdeltagelse bedømt, kan
forlange at aflægge prøve i stedet. Undervisningsdeltagelse hvortil der knytter sig
praktiske øvelser, kan dog ikke erstattes af en prøve.

brugernavn og password. Når projektet er upload’et udskrives kvittering, som
SKAL AFLEVERES SAMMEN MED PROJEKTET.
I forbindelse med upload er det muligt at markere, om et projekt er fortroligt. Hvis
projektet er fortroligt, vil det kun kunne tilgås af den/de person(er), der har adgang
til den enkelte uddannelses arkiv. Markeres projektet ikke som fortroligt, vil det
være synligt på projektbibliotekets hjemmeside: http://www.projekter.aau.dk
umiddelbart efter eksamen.
For upload og yderligere information om det digitale projektbibliotek se
hjemmesiden: http://projekter.aau.dk/projekter/
Inddateringsformularen er (næsten) selvforklarende, dog er der et par steder, hvor
det måske er nødvendigt med lidt forklaring.
Det gælder følgende:
• Der må ikke forekomme CPR-numre i de uploadede filer.
• Fortrolighed: Du skal altid vælge om projektet skal være fortroligt eller offentligt
tilgængeligt.
