This course is distinguished from other design courses by placing an emphasis on research methods, user-experience, marketing, business models and the commercial justification of new product proposals, as well as core science and engineering subjects.

Interactive Workshop Designs
Interactive Workshop Designs
A key part of my role is to design, build and run highly interactive, virtual workshops for customers around the world. The theme of each workshop varies depending on the required outcome but topics include deriving an organisation's key challenges and objectives for the year, the impacts software issues have on various business departments, forging a team mission statement or analysing the impact change has on an organisation. Each workshop is reusable and built using LucidSpark technology.
Gamifying Customer Engagement for GoChallenge
Gamifying Customer Engagement for GoChallenge
GoChallenge has a vision to encourage more people to exercise as part of a corporate strategy. Employees get invited to the chosen challenge by email and through an app. They are then placed into a team led by a designated captain who works closely with a Success Coach throughout the challenge.
GoChallenge wanted to explore new avenues of client engagement. This project determined what types of enhanced gamification methods could be applied to the existing business model through quantitative research using the IDEO Double Diamond methodology.
Transforming Libraries to Better Serve Communities
Transforming Libraries to Better Serve Communities
This project examined a library's place in Irish society and how we can transform these institutions to address pressing societal issues and better serve those in the surrounding community.
Libraries are trusted institutions within Irish society, usually located in the heart of a community. However, the number of Young Adult users has fallen in recent years and of the regular users, 43% do not fully understanding all the services a library has to offer. This lack of communication along with the "missing age group" is a barrier to fully realising the power of libraries within the local community. This project looked at enhancing interaction with Young Adults and at improving communication to fully realise the power of this venerable institution.
The Circular Economy of Ireland - Up-Cycling Medical Devices
The Circular Economy of Ireland - Up-Cycling Medical Devices
This project explored how the general public might be encouraged to recycle Single Use Plastics in medical devices such as wrist braces and medical boots that are designed to be used once and then incinerated. The project explored developing a process to collect and up-cycle (use again in a different environment) medical devices in areas most in need around the world.
