Tero Juuti

• Leading a unique research and teaching team
• Planning, execution, and reporting of world-class research in the areas of:
  • partly configurable products and
  • subject matter didactics of Design Science and product development
• Building world-class design capabilities in the field of business-driven product development
• Empowering and enriching transformation projects with industry and public sector actors

In product development, one operates a multidisciplinary field of many parallel and diverse phenomena.
 

Value creation of products, services, and solutions are developed within the frameworks of technologies, natural laws, expertise, and the affordances of the supplier network. At the same time, dynamic changes occur in the business landscape, within companies, and in everyday situations. Value-driven product development aims to solve industrial product development challenges already today through modularization, configuration, and flow thinking. Our research team is part of a leading Nordic research community in the field of modularization and partly configurable products.

In learning design science, the most significant didactic challenge is teaching emergent design processes without selecting a specific, single process to teach. Currently known processes and methods barely meet today’s design challenges, let alone future, yet unforeseen situations. This research team seeks solutions for the field of Engineering Education with subject matter didactics.

• Partially configurable products, product modularization, configurable products, and encapsulation partitioning logic strategies and principles (Brownfield Process, Brownfield Hybrid Technology, Dynamo-tool, GEMS-tool)
• Leading and Management of design work
• Knowledge domains in leading and guiding product development
• Didactic choices and their dispositions when teaching Design Science
• Continuous, sustainable, and developmental assessment in Design Science education (e.g. Logbooks)
