====== ICT innovation / Product Design and Development __(2016/2017)__ ======

**See the current [[ict_innovation|ICT Innovation Course]] for further information.**

===== Degree Programs =====

This course is offered at the University of Trento in the framework of four tracks offered by Trento
within the [[https://www.eitdigital.eu/|European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT DIgital)]] Master School programme: 
  * [[https://masterschool.eitdigital.eu/programmes/cse/|EIT Digital Cyber Security track]], local information on the courses in Trento can be found [[teaching_activities|here]], handled by the [[security_group|security group]] 
  * [[https://masterschool.eitdigital.eu/programmes/ita/|EIT Digital Internet Technology and Architecture track]],
  * [[https://masterschool.eitdigital.eu/programmes/ssa/|EIT Digital Software and Service Architectures track]]).
  * [[https://masterschool.eitdigital.eu/programmes/dmt/|EIT Digital Digital Media Technology track]]).

===== Course Objective =====

This course illustrates the key steps of product design and developement and guide students, forming multi-disciplinary teams, into the development of a “product” as opposed to just a “project”.

We often see nice proof-of-concept research demonstration of useful tools in magazines or on web-sites. What does it take to make this a product? For example, suppose we are building a tool that provides a better interface to a hardware device. On our blog we can say "A brief search on the internet shows us the right data-sheet for the product". This is not feasible in a product and must be replaced by a web service, that delivers the right results to our own customers.

This course should allow students to experience what it takes to transform an idea into a product.

===== Lecturers and Tutors =====

  * Lecturer: [[http://www.massacci.org|Fabio Massacci]]
  * Tutors:  
     * Bernardo Villalba Frías (PhD student in Embedded Systems),  
     * Dr Jing Nie (PhD in Finance at Durham Business School), 
     * Stanislav Dashevskyi (Phd student in Security and Privacy, 1year at SAP AG), 
     * Dr Stefano Tranquillini (Phd in Service Design in Trento, CTO and co-founder Chino.io), 

===== Credits (6-9 ECTS) =====

This course is normally 6ECTS credits for MSc students enrolled in Trento or for EIT/ICTLabs students joining Trento as exit students. For EIT/ICTLabs master students having Trento as entry students this course will yield 9 credits as it includes the credits for the EIT/ICTLabs summer school.

===== Overarching Learning Objectives  =====

  * **Creativity**: How to solve problems when not all steps are completely specified (this what you should try to do with your design/architectural result)
  * **Intellectual Transformation**: How to transform an idea into a product (the first “brainstorming” step is your research canvas, the last one is the final product)
  * **Leadership**: Organize yourselves into a team and arrive to make a final product (you should try to leverage on each other’s competences)
  * **Making value judgement**: Decide which parts are important and which are not also on the basis of ethical and social considerations.

===== Course Structure =====

  * **Learning**: Lectures on Product Design and Development (PD&D)
      * Introduction
      * Product Specifications
      * Concept (Mostly selection and testing)
      * Product Architecture
      * Prototyping and robust design
      * Patents and Intellectual Property
  * **Thinking**:  Concept's Idea Canvas (up to 10/30 grade points)
      * Each team will produce a concept's idea canvas to clarify the key strong points on their product
  * **Designing**: Product design and architecture (up to 10/30 grade points)
      * Teams will produce a detailed architecture and a poster explaining how their product will work
  * **Producing**:  Product prototype (up to 15/30 grade points)
      * Each team will have a small budget for hardware/software and will have to actually present a working product

===== Textbook =====

Karl T. Ulrich and Steven D. Eppinger. Product Design and Development. 5th edition, Irwin McGraw-Hill, 2012.

There is also an eBook with a subset of the chapters that is used as a textbook for Karl Ulrich's [[https://www.coursera.org/course/design|Product Design on-line Course]] on Coursera for 30$.

===== Spring 2017 =====

==== Product's Idea  ====

The following idea for the product by Michele Dallachiesa from the startup [[http://www.skysense.co/|SkySense]] has been selected for the 2017 course (following up the sheperd drone by Samy Kamkar in 2016).

"//A swarming fleet of inexpensive drones can serve multiple purposes, from monitoring crops in agriculture to surveillance of industrial sites, from mapping indoor large industrial facilities to...//" 

Some details on the idea of swarming drones are available on [[http://ardupilot.org/planner/docs/swarming.html|Ardupilot]], as well as some code directly available for planning of a single drone [[https://github.com/federico-fiorini/planner|SkySense Planner]]. See as well the [[https://github.com/Microsoft/AirSim|AirSim project]]. **Read them.**

==== Schedule ====

**April 12 we have been moved to Romm A210 **

  * Wednesday - room A212 -     13:00-15:00
  * Friday    - room A224 -     9:00-12:00 (up to 13:00 on the Show Room days)
