This course focuses on goal-directed design and interaction design, two subjects treated in depth in the Cooper book (see reference below). To practice these two methods, we propose a design challenge, which is further divided into mini-projects evenly spa ...
The intent of this project is to encourage interchange between students and their mentors. Each student, in consultation with her or his mentor, will choose a company that the student will analyze in context of its primary industry. The company may be that ...
Le projet de master est un projet personnel d'étudiant qui nécessite un travail d'analyse, de conception et de réalisation.
Le projet de master peut être réalisé dans un laboratoire de l'EPFL, dans une autre université ou dans l'industrie, toujours sous l ...
The students will understand the cognitive and social factors which affect learning - particularly in science and engineering. They will be able to use social research techniques as part of the design process to understand end users. ...
Space environment is different from what we can experience on Earth, requiring specific design approaches in order to achieve reliable operations. Engineers must hence face new challenges stimulating their creativity to tackle those particular constraints. ...
Le cours propose d'expérimenter les spécificités du design industriel en confrontant les étudiant.e.s à la création d'un objet. Il s'agit d'un enseignement pratique qui repose sur le développement d'un projet de semestre. ...
The course aims at teaching the prototyping of intelligent physical artifacts. It aims to solve real-world challenges by a
combination of microcontroller programming, electronics, and computer -aided design and manufacturing. Student teams
choose their own ...

In this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their limits of validity. Next we discuss emerging opportunit ...
