The course provides lectures, exercises with criticism, croquis drawing and literature studies that cultivate interest and understanding of industrial design, and which may provide insight into the artistic and intuitive thought and its application in engineering. Practical design data follow the theoretical studierna.Övningarna has centered on understanding the form and the specific skills associated with that area. This means that the exercises may be different from past experiences of studies at KTH.
