Autumn at the office

Autumn at the office means a short more silent period after a hectic time with semester start and traveling in Slovenia and Italy with my job. Now there's time to catch up and start planning exams and the spring semester.

The new students seems to be on track with their studies and look very busy when I meet them. They have been working on different projects since they started here - one of them with Umeå Institute of Design in Sweden, where they spend almost two weeks working on the Games project, where the students have to make interviews with people in industry about difficulties in their work situation and then create a game that deals with these difficulties. The outcome was very exciting and entertained the ITPD staff for a couple of hours.

Mike Anusas from Design, Manufacture & Engineering Management at University of Strathclyde mentions the IT Product Design master programme in his blog stone jackal - take a look at the whole blog when you are there anyway - it's worth a to spend a while there.
