The objective of the course is that you within a project team carry out a project, where you independently contribute to the execution of a design project in the form of a holistic design task, possibly within an organization or a company. The course is based on an understanding (achieved in previous D&I courses) of the synthesis process, of socio-technical relations and an insight into the domain technology for the project in question. The course aims at giving you the following competences:
* formulate a purpose for the development.
* synthesise ideas and concepts.
* articulate goals, define tasks and coordinate tasks.
* balance off viewpoint and create an harmonic unity.
* create concrete clarifications and systemize.
* understand the practical, complex execution of design processes and the students own role within these processes.
* deliver and communicate a thorough design solution.
* argue for the application of the design solution within context.
* explain the business related aspects.
* give a reflected criticism of others design work and results.
* collaborate with other stakeholders in design and define own role in the work.

The course is called holistic since more aspects are taken into consideration than in previous project courses in the design & innovation program. The project can be carried out in collaboration with a company, it will go more in depth with project planning and control and go into specialized areas like detail design, business opportunities and economy.

In 2013 the course is run by Jaap Dalhuisen (former TU Delft), Tom Howard (former University of Bath) and Torben Lenau.
