Project Description The project will explore opportunities for a new product within a predefined product category already part of the client's portfolio. Based on existing insights and development experience from previous work with the same client, the students will:
Analyze the current product category and customer directives provided
Generate multiple product concepts aligned with the client's needs and market expectations
Apply creative and engineering-driven design exploration to develop alternative solutions
Conduct objective concept evaluation using structured assessment methods (e.g. functional analysis, Pugh matrix, manufacturability assessment)
Select one final concept for further development based on feasibility, customer value, producibility, and innovation potential
Develop a near industry-ready 3D CAD model of the chosen concept
Present a justified recommendation on why the selected concept should be taken forward for detailed design or industrialization
Who are we looking for? You have a strong understanding of manufacturability and practical engineering constraints, allowing you to design concepts that are both innovative and feasible. Your creative mindset is complemented by a structured approach to concept evaluation, ensuring that ideas are assessed thoroughly and effectively. You also have a strong interest in methods such as functional analysis and concept selection matrices, which support systematic decision-making during the design process.

Preferably two students working as a pair, but individual applicants are also welcome
Graduation in June 2026
CAD skills using one or more 3D modeling tools
