Learning outcomes |
Development of project capabilities in industrial design, notably in the development of objects of medium and small to medium scale complexity.
Mastery of the design process phases worked in the discipline: research, concept development, moodboard, drawing/sketches, 2D technical design, 3D modeling, rendering, mapping/prototyping and presentation (storytelling).
Demonstration of observation, analysis, synthesis, critical spirit and debate capabilities through in-depth product collection.
Deepening the adequacy of theoretical and technical knowledge fundamental to the implementation of the project.
Ability for practical application of knowledge individually and as a team.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Execution of two sequential exercises, using the discussed theory, appropriate technological tools for each work phase and workshops. Knowledge sharing, presentation of examples of reference and debate on thought, functionality, society, sustainability, among other fundamental aspects of the project. Articulation with the U.C. of Makeup and Digital Design 1.
The evaluation is continuous and reflects the quality, balance, adequacy and consistency of the project, as well as the commitment, attendance and punctuality of the student. For each delivery, the assessment shall correspond to the total instalment up to its stage and not only to the material delivered.
All deliveries are mandatory at the set date. The failure of any delivery is elimination. Assessment P1 (40%),
Assessment P2 (50%), Continuous evaluation (10%). UC with examination and possibility of improvement.
