Learning Goals
Provide students with knowledge with regard to project development based on the application of
scientific methods and design, expanded its questioning of ability, analytical reasoning, synthesis,
critical and reflective about the design process product. It has been for specific objectives: a) Develop
the concept of innovation applied to Design; b) Understand, through practice, the relationship
between: topic / problem / research / hypothesis / design / testing / validation, c) Develop the design
process using the intersection of scientific methods and design methods; d) Understand the difference
between commercial immediacy design project and design project based on principles of research to
innovation.

Contents
The syllabus of the course are oriented design skills deepening in the field of Product Design or Editorial
Design, considering the issues of each student's research interest:
1. Phases and assumptions of theoretical-practical research in Design:
1.1. Analysis and exploitation of the method phases;
1.2. Comparative analysis of Case Studies.
2. Application of theoretical and practical research in Design methods:
2.1. Specify the project area;
2.2. Specify the design problem;
2.3. Investigate, understand and validate the problem universe;
2.4. Investigate and understand the user;
2.4. Set goals and specifications;
2.4. Explore and define assumptions of design solution;
2.5. Pre-oriented design for solution.
3. Models of communication and reasoning of intermediate results.

Teaching Methods
The classes are based on the sharing and discussion of theoretical and practical knowledge with
students, promoting the development of design exercises with varying degrees of increasing
complexity. In addition, sharing sessions and discussion of intermediate results of work will be
promoted.
In the NORMAL SEASON assessment students may choose one of two schemes: Continuous or Final Assessment.
1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SCHEME
Evaluation Components:
a. Class participation: 20%;
b. Work developed during the period with the accompaniment of the teacher, which must be submitted, at least, to a periodic evaluation with public disclosure of the classifications: 40%;
c. Presentation and defense of the work developed during the classes, which occurs during the "Regular Season Evaluations": 40%.
2. FINAL EVALUATION SCHEME
a. Work developed during the period with the teacher's accompaniment: 40%;
b. Examination based on the contents taught: 60%.
