Co-creation and platform economy

The Co-creation and platform economy minor focuses on empowering future graduates to contribute with their knowledge in the decision making process of products and services fundamental for success in our current complex world. Future engineers need to be equipped to understand how their knowledge and expertise can be combined with different skill sets to produce competitive products and services that have a direct impact on our society and our economy.

We utilize co-creation as a strategy to facilitate and promote the combination of different knowledge domains to collectively produce outcomes. By co-creation we mean any act of collective creativity shared by two or more people.
