Recently we visited Aalto University's Product Development Project presentation Gala. Based on their good presentations and reflections on our own experience, here are some thoughts about presenting projects.

Our first year masters students are working projects in partnership with different companies, varying from trailer to a furniture company. There are two groups that are working for Thulema, an Estonian office furniture producer. Project objective is to find better design solutions for creative office space.

What are the characteristics not stated in official application papers, but that are still important to make you a good fit? We asked our students, what sort of new course mates they would be happy to see in autumn. So, what is valued here?
