Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

Stimulate research, conception and development skills given the constraints of processing at the level of project and prototyping
Develop technical skills in project processes and in the development of prototypes and models
Develop research skills and information systematization
Develop methods and creative skills leading to innovation
Recognize distinct processes and production of prototypes and manufacturing techniques and materials Incorporation of individual project abilities in the resolution of real problems and of several levels of complexity Develop technical project skills, namely in the process of file preparation for the prototyping processes
Provide the involvement in a teaching environment prototypes to experimentation and sharing of information, familiarize with mechanical, industrial, computer instruments
Know how to use research skills and information systematization
Understand product life cycles and underlying management tools for the development of new products.

Contents

Development, at an advanced level, of a theoretical and practical route centred in the perception and understanding of the Project development process in industrial design, namely in the areas related to the development of prototypes and models;
Advanced development of prototyping and physical modelling tecnhiques;
Suitable application of teaching techniques to the needs of the work being developed and its contextualization at the level of intervention in the project management in multidiscplinary environments; Recognition of the several ways of doing prototypes and models in prototyping technologies process Concerted exploration of activities and equipments available at the University of Évora either as observers or in a more practical side by experimenting with results.
