Learning outcomes - Develop the analytical capacity to adapt the project to the different constraints of the system (client, market, production, material
press and user);
- Plan, systematize and conduct different research activities for product development;
- Think through methodological procedures to identify logical solutions to problems arising within the scope of the
product development and converting them into opportunities;
- Know how to work with multidisciplinary teams through methods and methodologies associated with design, leading the design phases
problematization, intervention and development;
- Have knowledge of design research methods to develop own methodologies and project procedures
rational;
- Develop aptitude for the appropriate application of structures, methods, techniques, and procedures, in conducting business processes
design for every project challenge
Syllabus Develop capacity and structure procedures through which you will obtain an effective and efficient organization of the design process; such
procedure will constitute its own methodology, with an awareness of the methods, principles, systems of guidelines
used in design, for practical implementation. The course syllabus is divided into 3 parts:
-Introduction to design methodologies, and the skills necessary to negotiate the constraints of design systems;
-Prominent methodological approaches, methods, tools and models in design research;
-Practical implementation of design methodology for product development.
In order for students to understand the dynamics in different theoretical and practical contexts of design activity, the program is developed
through carrying out individual work and group tasks, as well as individual and group assessments adjusted according
with the scheduled program, throughout the phases presented.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Instruction and guidance in class using explanatory classes and different theoretical perspectives on the
methodologies under study. The UC aims to be practical and reflective with the development of work
theoretical-practical and project-based courses using tutorial guidance. The UC assessment will be carried out through two theoretical-practical assessments and a practical assessment distributed according to
the blocks of the program for this subject, group and individual assessment, are:
