How Covid-19 Enabled a Global Student Design Team to Achieve Breakthrough Innovation

Abstract A data analysis method based on artificial neural networks aiming to support cause-and-effect analysis in design exploration studies is presented. The method clusters and aggregates the effects of multiple design variables based This is a qualitative single case study of a geographically distributed student team that experienced a quite different graduate course, compared to previous year’s. This was due...

ReGlove slutar topp 20 i James Dyson Award och vinner Sparbanksstiftelsen Kronans Jubileumsstipendium

ReGlove-projektet var under lång tid med i tävlingen James Dyson Award 2020 med sin lösning som att återtillverka engångsplasthandskar från förbrukade handskar. När året nu närmar sig sitt slut kan vi sammanfatta att projektet slutade i topp-20 i konkurrens med mer än 1800 bidrag världen över, det enda svenska laget som nådde den sista omgången av tävlingen. Studenterna vann också...

Studentidé blev rullande handskfabrik

Att vara självförsörjande på sjukvårdsartiklar, till exempel engångshandskar, skulle underlätta inom vården. Nu har BTH:s studenter tagit fram en rullande handskfabrik som kan förflyttas mellan olika platser där handskar behövs.

V-Com presented at Stanford University

V-Com, a precautionary system that communicates safety-critical information between truck drivers and vulnerable road users was presented by six final year MSc students from Blekinge Institute of Technology and Stanford University at this year’s Stanford EXPE – design experience. In their capstone project, ME310, which runs from October to June, they move in a Design Thinking process through phases of...
