Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	The Curricular Unit uses the expository methodology of conceptual contents and the demonstration of application cases. Support and monitoring of product development is carried out within the scope of project curricular units that require the use of rapid prototyping. It is proposed to develop a practical work to apply rapid prototyping in groups. The evaluation will be continuous according to: - One individual written assessment test (25%); - Three practical group work with presentation (75%);
