Learning Goals
Provide students with knowledge in the field of eco and bio design methodologies, through the use of learning concepts and design project methods that facilitate the recognition of the nature study as an engine to design innovative solutions.
Skills to be acquired by students:
- Know and understand innovation models in which nature is mater of inspiration for the design solution; - Know and understand design models in which nature is the entity to preserve by design;
- Develop the student's ability to apply eco-bio solutions to innovative design project;
- To promote the student's ability to stay informed about the evolution of eco bio innovations.

Teaching Methods
The classes will be based on the exposure and critical analysis of theoretical and practical content by use of: literature and physical and audiovisual media; exploration of collaborative working methods; the debate on cross-cutting issues to the learning process.
The evaluation of student performance will be based on analysis of their attendance and participation in class, as well as through the application of knowledge acquired in a theoretical and practical work.
In the evaluation of NORMAL SEASON students can choose one of the two regimes: Continuous or Final Assessment.
1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SCHEME
Evaluation components:
Participation in classes: 20%;
Work developed during the period of classes with the accompaniment of the teacher, who must be submitted, at least, to a periodic evaluation with public disclosure of the classifications: 40%;
Presentation and defense of the work developed during classes, which takes place in the "Normal Season Assessments" period: 40%.
