Course content

Apart from pure functionality, most products also have affective properties. Those properties are important for most customers' purchase decision. The course gives an overview on the area of affective engineering Also, it introduces to a number of possible methods for integration of affective product properties into conventional product development processes. In a project these methods are applied to concrete industrial products.
