Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

The intention is to give to the subject an experimental character with the objective of assigning critical skills in processes and results analysis;
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; Recognize distinct processes and production of prototypes and manufacturing techniques, its mechanisms, its potentialities and limitations owing to different technologies and materials; Incorporation of individual project abilities in the resolution of real problems and simulation of cases of several levels of complexity;
Provide the involvement in a teaching environment propitious to experimentation and sharing of information, familiarize with mechanical, industrial, computer instruments;
Develop research skills and information systematization;
Develop methods and creative skills leading to innovation;

Contents

Theoretical-practical contextualization of the fundamentals of initiation to prototyping for the acquisition of skills in the analysis of processes and results;
Perception and understanding of the project development process in design, particularly in the areas related to the development of prototypes and models;
Introduction of prototyping techniques and models
initiatory application of the techniques learned in design projects
Recognition of execution modes tailored to the needs, development of intervention capacities in managing multidisciplinary projects
Recognition of different ways of doing prototypes and models in rapid / traditional prototyping- technologies
Exploration activities and equipment available in the U. of Évora as observers or performers results. research skills and systematization of information
Close contact with the laboratories and workshops
