Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria TP classes
1) Lectures. The material will be exposed sequentially using slides and videos prepared with a pedagogical character.
2) Resolution of exercises (problems). Exercises will be carried out and questions answered, framing the material and summarizing the different topics in a project contact in industrial design.
3) Development of a project work (PROJECT) where students, in groups of 3 elements, with tutorial support, will approach a case study and carry out the different steps (methodology) for the selection of materials.
4)
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
