PD7 is probably the most similar course to a Glasgow PDE project that NTNU runs. Its emphasis is on exploring methods for use at every stage within a project. It begins with some reading and seminars on books by Roozenburg & Eekels and Ulrich & Eppinger, but it wasn't essential to buy the books. It is hoped that you will work with a company, and having myself (for purely personal reasons) chosen to do this with a UK company, I would recommend that you do it with a Norwegian one. Obviously go looking for an interesting project, but IPD always have some waiting just in case. The scope of the projects is much wider than PDE, so it doesn't have to be very technical or indeed product based: it could be a system or interaction kinda thing. You are certainly not expected to take the project to a very detailed level, perhaps just up to concepts.
The project is pretty much self governed, with a few milestone meetings throughout the process. Deliverables were a 20min presentation and printed report, and a sketch folio.
A good solid course for the first semester I'd say, but I didn't get an awful lot of constructive criticism from the tutors, more from the other students. Its cool to step outside of the PDE system and I recommend trying some more diverse design methods.
