Learning outcomes Resourcefulness in the implementation of all project phases worked in the discipline: research, definition of concept, development, and communication. Namely:
- To be able to interpret the objectives, context and constraints involved in the work;
- Deepen the global consistency in the work process and autonomy in decision making;
- Adequacy and support of conceptual solutions to the objectives of the project, as well as the approaches taken during the development of the project;
- Practical application of technical knowledge (drawing, modelmaking, 3D modeling, materials, and technology) to the development and execution of the project.
Syllabus Discussion and implementation of all phases of the design process, developing, whenever possible, projects in context with the business fabric and coordinating the development of projects with the Advanced 3D Modeling and Optionals curricular units.
- Introduction of the area and work process, analysis of examples and related authors.
- Explanation of storytelling, the theme of the work and context, deepening the theme and discussing the material, formal, dimensional and other limitations.
- Research. Collection of information on existing products, benchmarks, brands, designers and products. Research summary, object definition and work strategy.
- Definition of ground concept.
- Quick sketches of alternatives.
- Product development through drawing and modelmaking.
- Detail and 3D Modeling.
- Final renders and post-production.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Theoretical-practical discipline that makes use of the project-based learning methodology, through the development of one / two individual work(s). Individual support by the professor. Cooperation with the curricular units Product Drawing and Advanced 3D Modeling.
The assessment is continuous and mostly based on the development of the project(s), with each phase having a delivery, and the grade corresponds to the total performance in the respective phase of the work and not just the material delivered. Unaccompanied works in classes prior to each delivery are not accepted. All deliveries are mandatory on the defined date. Submissions after the scheduled deadline will be penalized. The failure of any delivery is eliminatory.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
