Learning outcomes |
In addition to mastering competencies and basic understanding of scientific thinking, the main objective of this Course Unit is to promote approaches to specific themes in the context of research in Design and the use of such competencies in the scope of students' future work. Thus, sensitizing them to reflections on epistemological issues, scientific rigor, and other relevant related concepts for the solidity and coherence of a research process. In this sense, it is expected that students may create a relevant scientific repertoire for possible work topics as well as structure a solid research project for it.
