KDM2410 Active wear Course description

In this course, students will acquire knowledge through design, product development, and prototyping on how the body in motion can contribute to visual and functional solutions for clothing for leisure and sports activities. Materiality, culture, and lifestyle in a Nordic climate are central perspectives in the course.

The work in the course will consist of project work in smaller groups. The purpose of the period is to develop and strengthen the students' understanding of concept development, design process, technical materials, analog and digital form development, as well as a finished clothing collection. The group work is based on design methods for collaboration and selected theory related to user needs and physical movement.

Course KD 2000

This is the last of four courses in orthopaedic technology. The course is based on the clinical work processes covered in ORI1000, ORI1300, ORI2200 and ORI2300. Knowledge acquired in the courses on anatomy, pathology and biomechanics will be used.

The course mainly deals with orthoses and prostheses for the upper limbs. It also covers prostheses/orthoses for persons with deformities/lengthening prostheses and ankle, knee and hip exarticulation prostheses, which are less common amputation levels and makes up a smaller part of the prosthetists’ work at lower limb level. The types of prostheses in this course are biomechanically and technically complex. The course will not provide all the necessary competence, but will provide the students with an insight into what is required in order to adapt functional prostheses at these amputation levels.

The student must have passed the first and second years of the programme or equivalent, with the exception of the courses ORI1050 and ORI1060.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can take the exam.

• Participation in the course’s mid-term seminar, where the student gives oral presentation of the status of the project
• Attendance in teaching and activities related to the project

When the coursework is conducted as group work, the group is assessed as a whole.

The coursework is assessed as approved/not approved.

The exam project is a group work consisting of a practical and a written component that will be assessed together as a portfolio.

The exam submission will be evaluated based on the following:

Practical work

• A practical work that addresses a problem related to the course description.
• Process material for the practical work should be attached

Written part

• A written assignment of approximately 2500 words that discusses the practical work

The exam result can be appealed

Valid absence - fail

Students who do not take the exam due to valid absence, or who are awarded an F grade, can register for a resit/rescheduled exam

All aids are permitted, provided the rules for source referencing are met.

The following coursework requirements must be met before the student can take the exam:

• a minimum attendance of 80 % in seminars and skills training

One examiner and one co-examiner (assesses a selection of the assignments). External examiners are used regularly.
