Editor's Notes
- Sustainable Product Design at Falmouth University, running since 1998, educating students on principles of Sustainable Design. Sustainaability is discussed and challenged through Product, service and system perspectives and in every module. Positive / holistic model of sustainability Innovation, Community, Environment: Real World Challenges Ethical and Moral Compass Collaborative team based models of working Digitally enabled graduates both in Design and Prototyping
- Key themes that the course works with
- Materials
- Stage 1 project: Local sourcing of materials, rural economy, circular models, Low energy forming processes
- Live projects with Eden Project to develop products from crops and plants, lifecycle thinking.
- Hard vocational skills in areas of carbon metrics using Lifecycle Auditing software (Sustainable Minds). Reference points are established from existing products and opportunities for innovation are identified.
- CNC digital manufacturing techniques such as milling and Rapid Prototyping are used to create first stage prototypes in a variety of soft and hard materials.
- Students are encouraged to develop their passions in design towards business startup, designer maker practice practice is encourgaed alongside more conventional product design routes into design agencies.
- HCD methodologies developed and practiced
- Students receive ethics and ethnography training to enable them to work in a rigorous and professional manner with participants in the real world. Healthcare, wellbeing and design for age, and design for disability are focal points.
- Students run workshops with participants to evaluate prototypes and conduct observational research.
- Students take concept ideas from their degrees into employment and facilitate the delivery of real innovation and product development in the market.
- Live project with Cornwall Mobility Centre, Truro provides opportunities for students to experience various forms of disability through simulation and role play. The purpose being to develop higher levels of empathy with users and to identify design issues that users may work around.
- Staff research follows similar models and provides an evidence base for students. Research connects with wider business community.
- Staff provide seminar opportunities to enable students to observe and discuss their research, this foster respect and understanding between different levels and highlights ways of developing practice. Staff expertise covers a wide gamut of 3D objects from Craft to Industrial Design Engineering.
- A new area of design developed through Falmouth’s relationship with University of Exeter’s geography and bio-science department.
- Design for intertidal zones to encourage eco-systems to thrive. Alternative model to the current norm of anti-fouling strategies. Hard reservations are intended to divide human and nature so that both can co-exist in the same space.
- Real world testing validates prototypes
- Phd students run workshops with undergraduates creating a trickle effect of new thinking in this area.
- Students work with councils and highway agencies to apply new thinking in the real world while considering human factors such as installation, cleaning and saftey.
- Students work with real world partners which include multi nationals, local business, NGO’s and schools
- Business collaboration expands students horizons and offers the business opportunities to develop new areas of RnD. These partnerships often lead to internships and employment.
- Stage 3 Student, Sacha Holub, is currently working with Lowe to develop a new type of lightweight travel bag with minimum fixtures.
- Students constantly consider how to articulate their approach to sustainable challenges, techniques including behaviour shifts.
