Learning outcomes |
Development of design capabilities in the area of industrial design, namely in objects of average complexity and scale.
Mastery of the phases of the design process worked on in the discipline: research, concept development, drawing, modelmaking, 3D modeling, rendering and presentation. Deepening the consistency of each project phase.
Developing capacities of analysis, synthesis, critical spirit and debate through the in-depth collection of products.
Introduction of the adequacy of fundamental technical knowledge to the execution of the project: design, modeling and rendering.
Ability to apply knowledge in practice individually and in teams.
Coherence and balance in the articulation between creative and rational thinking: functionality.
Awareness of the argumentation and communication of the developed product: storytelling.
Development of the ability to work on multitasking.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Practical classes with individual accompaniment that seek to strengthen capabilities in the area of product design individually and in groups.
Execution of exercises simultaneously, using the theory discussed, technological tools appropriate to each phase of work and workshops. Knowledge sharing, presentation of reference examples and debate on thought, functionality, society, communication, sustainability, among other fundamental aspects of the project.
The evaluation is continuous and reflects the quality, balance, adequacy, coherence and consistency of the project, as well as the commitment, attendance and punctuality of the student. In each delivery the evaluation corresponds to the total performance up to the respective phase and not only to the material delivered.
All deliveries are mandatory on the set date. Failure of any delivery is eliminatory.
Evaluation P1 (45%), Evaluation P2 (45%), Continuous Evaluation (10%).
UC without exam or possibility of improvement.
