Overview
This unit focuses on the design of a product or system to a professional level. It builds upon DNH703 Applied Design Research 1 and extends the application of research to the design of a product. You will learn how to integrate research and design knowledge to support novel design ideas. The unit contains seminar discourse. This is a capstone unit and it provides you with the foundation for higher research degrees.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Coherent and advanced knowledge of principles and concepts of Industrial Design including relevant knowledge of research and research methods
- Research through design with an advanced level of critical thinking
- Ability to visually, verbally and in writing communicate advanced design research and development outcomes
- Consideration of inter-disciplinary, ethical, legal, governance and scholarship factors in the execution of major design projects
- High level of integration of various design factors, and strategies and principles to the design of innovative and viable products and systems
- Advanced level of critical understanding of ethical, professional and social practices relevant to industrial design
- Leadership and collaboration through planning, execution and communication of design projects at a professional level
Content
Learning Approaches
The unit will consist of design studio, lectures, workshops and discussions. The focus is on problem-based learning in the design studio setting where your work will be supported by lectures, one-to-one and group activities, as well as feedback sessions. During the semester you will be required to present your work for discussion in a group situation where you will have an opportunity to explain your design and receive feedback from your peers and the staff. Therefore, a key component is the studio wherein students and staff work together to learn about design. Your active participation in studio and a sense of personal responsibility for your development as a designer are essential for success.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Mode of feedback: formative and summative. Formative feedback is given during semester on a weekly basis via one-to-one teaching activities and small groups.
Assessment
Overview
The assessment will comprise formative (to find out how your work is progressing) and summative assessment (to grade your work against expected outcome). The unit is assessed by applying criterion referenced assessment relevant to each assessment task.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS
An assignment submitted after the due date without an approved extension will not be marked. If you are unable to complete your assignment on time, you should submit on time whatever work you have done.
Faculty Assessment Information

Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Project A (applied
Individual design project (early design stage).
Assessment: Project B (applied)
Individual design project (developmental design stage).
Assessment: Critique (oral and written)
A constructive discourse of published work.
Only the submission of the written critique is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.

Risk Assessment Statement
You are required to have undertaken a J Block Workshop induction as part of this unit. Further information on this will be made available early in the semester.
All students and staff are required to complete the Tier 1 CIF General Health and Safety Induction for access to campus buildings and facilities. This must be completed online: http://Canvas.qut.edu.au/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp'tab_group=community&url=%2Fwebapps%2FCanvas%2Fexecute%2FcourseMain%3Fcourse_id%3D_89661_1.
There are no extraordinary workplace and safety issues associated with this unit. However, J Block Workshop usage is maybe required. Prior to workshop access all students are required to complete the General Safety Induction and the J-Block workshop Induction that introduce safety regulations.
