Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Technical products determine our life and many of them are supposed to be essential. Also to prepare and cook food we use many appliances in communal feeding and private households. The common aim is to work efficient, to get optimal results while considering the ecological and economic boundary conditions.

But the use of technic has consequences. The students realise and discuss the social problems of using technics, for example sustainability, security, usability, design for all as well as economical parameters.

Knowing processes and function of appliances to prepare, cook and store food (cooling and freezing) make the students able to evaluate different technical products and scenarios (usability, ecological footprint, productivity).

Usability tests on the ground using practical examples show the students the complexity of product testing.

Current trends of technical development such as digitalisation or engineering standards complete the theme.
