About the course
Aim
The main objective is for students to develop an understanding of the ways in which valid knowledge is produced in the academic field of design research. The aim is to reach a relational level of understanding, where students should be able to
- demonstrate an understanding of design research built on top of foundational concepts in research methodology, and
- prepare to engage in existing practices of academic production of design knowledge.
Content
Course topics include research into/for/through design, appropriation of quantitative and qualitative research methods, the relation between engineering research and design research, the role of practice and experimentation in design research, constructive research, the role of artifacts in design research, communication of design research knowledge, the relation between design research and artistic research practices.
