Further information

- Designing and manufacture a product based on an experiment in material, technology, or form. The use of bio-based materials and the application of technology serve as starting points for de-sign. The products designed in the Experimental Design course participate in a design competition. A more detailed description of the task on the Learn platform.
- The course includes the cost, because the wood product manufacture containing materials and manufacturing costs. In addition, the course relates to travel expenses due to visits.
