Experiences on a Multidisciplinary CDIO Project

Abstract

Laurea, Haaga-Helia, and Metropolia Universities of Applied Sciences organized their first joint Professional Summer School Sprint on a multidisciplinary topic on wellbeing technology on summer 2016. The main idea was to gather multidisciplinary groups of students from each institute and their partner institutes for a two-week long service innovation seeking intensive course, provide them with real business problems from partner companies to solve, and to provide the students with modern tools and methods for co-creation and service design. This paper gives a brief introduction to how co-creation and service design were used as a learning environment, describes the results from the PSS Sprint 2016, and discusses about future development of the concept.
