At the end of this curricular unit, the student must be able to identify different notions, practices and interpretations of contemporary Design, as well as critically approach them. He is expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of the diverse dimensions that envelop the association between Design and technology on the one hand and, on the other, of the possible implications and consequences of his ideas and actions in the world, everyday life and to the future, predicting the social impact of the different Design practices and identifying scenarios to its strategic intervention. It is also our purpose that each student is able to demonstrate competence to work both individually and in group, understanding the previously defined parameters for each evaluation moment, as well as concern with the quality of the presented results, orally and in writing, and with the fulfillment of the established goals.
