BAPD1000 Prosjekt designkontor - materialbearbeiding Emneplan

I emnet lærer studenten om ulike stadier i designprosjekter. Emnet består av to perioder der den første, ca. 2 uker, fungerer som et forkurs som er tilegnet kunnskap om og bearbeiding av materialer. Opplæringen omfatter bruk av maskiner og vil være organisert gjennom forelesninger, demonstrasjoner, individuelle øvelser, og gruppearbeid.
