Contents:

The four modules of the course on Product and Process Design focus on design aspects of food products from an integrated product and process perspective and aim at strengthening so-called T-shaped skills of the participating students, i.e., the ability to tackle in-depth disciplinary technological problems with respect to the vertical bar of the T-shaped skills and the aptitude to deal with broad multi-disciplinary challenges concerning the horizontal bar of the T-shaped skills. The core topic of this third module is the elaboration of a product concept from a food chain perspective.

Learning outcomes:

After successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:
- apply the principles of consumer-oriented product development in a chain perspective, up to and including the ingredients and the processes;
- develop, quantitatively as well as qualitatively, a new product idea into a fully elaborated product concept;
- write a decision paper on a product concept.

Activities:

Study e-learning materials with practical assignments.

Examination:

The final grade is based on a remote proctored written examination.
