ID learning activities like projects, assignments and internship/exchange are not a standard option in this tool. But you can customize the tool by creating your own learning activies with the equivalent credit points (ects), if you like.

5 4. ID and Bachelor College courses As you are part of the Bachelor College, you have the possibility to conduct elective courses outside the Major Industrial Design. Furthermore, you have to select a USE-package(= USE learning line)for your second and/or third year. On May 15th the latest you need to indicate (by use of the webform) your preference for a USE learning lines and whether you plan to take courses outside of ID. To support you in this process, all information has been made available online on April 1st. Furthermore, a Check your Match event will be organised on March 10, When considering Electives, Coherent Elective Packages and USE learning lines you need to take two aspects into account. First, which courses contribute best to the achievement of your vision on design and society. Secondly, which courses contribute best to achieve the level of depth on all competencies and the ability to integrate them in a design process, on which you will be assessed at the end of B32. The courses that are most relevant to ID students indicate which competencies are addressed. You are allowed to choose a maximum of 45 ECTS on courses offered by other departments than ID. However, if you choose more that 15 ECTS outside of ID you have to arrange a meeting with the Study Advisor. In this meeting you will discuss whether your intended development is sufficiently balanced to graduate from ID in time. If serious doubts emerge during this meeting you will need to submit a formal request to conduct the electives outside of ID to the Board of Examiners. While preparing your planning you should consider that the compulsory Basic Courses and the USE learning lines also contribute to the development in specific competences. Use the overview on the next page to see what options there are: 5

As an Industrial Design student you will follow the basic courses in Calculus, Applied Physics, Modeling, USE basic (User, Society & Enterprise) and Design. basic course Calculus Applied Physics Modeling USE basic Design competency area Descriptive and Mathematical Modelling Integrating Technology Descriptive and Mathematical Modelling Social Cultural Awareness Design and Research Processes USE learning lines In each USE learning line there is one main subject. This subject makes the interaction between technology and the surrounding environment clearly visible and focuses on one or more USE perspectives. The USE learning lines are offered from the second year of the Bachelor s program. USE learning lines Customer Centricity and the Design of Winning Products Decisions under Risk and Uncertainty Design for a Sustainable Future Human in Technology Patents, Design Rights, and Standards Quality of Life Robots Everywhere Secret Life of Light Technology Entrepreneurship The Future of Mobility Competency area Designing Business Processes User Focus and Perspective Social Cultural Awareness User Focus and Perspective Designing Business Processes Social Cultural Awareness Social Cultural Awareness User Focus and Perspective Designing Business Processes Social Cultural Awareness 7
