Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Course subject(s) Readings

Readings

The faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at the Delft University of Technology has a rich tradition in developing and teaching models and methods for product and service design. In this course, you have the opportunity to get introduced to some of the basic principles that underlie the way we teach design in Delft and to some of  the key methods and tools that we use to teach design.

Most of the methods that we use in our design program in Delft have been recently published in the Delft Design Guide. This guide presents an overview of models, perspectives and methods used in the Bachelor and Master curriculum. Some of the reading material for this course is from the Delft Design Guide and is available on the course pages as pdf’s in the appropriate weeks. If you are interested in all of the methods in the guide you can order the book at the publisher or via bookstores.
