119907 - BASIC DESIGN CARLA FARINA	First Semester	6	ICAR/13	Learning objectives The Basic Design course aims to provide fundamental knowledge for developing a critical and conscious approach to design and initiate a process of education in perceiving the physical world. The workshop aims to guide students in the study and understanding of visual elements, and more generally, of the perceptual elements underlying design. It seeks to provide an initial experience in two-dimensional and three-dimensional design, structured through progressively complex phases and experiences. The teaching experience will be divided into two phases: the first will develop analysis and representation skills through the study of an existing product, while the second will focus on creative exercises to develop two-dimensional and three-dimensional design thinking. EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES (according to the Dublin Descriptors) 1. Knowledge and understanding: The student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the topics covered; acquire adequate competence for the preliminary development of basic forms (both material and immaterial); train their observation and reflection skills on the relationship between perceived and real form; and develop initial abilities for the conceptual and formal configuration of two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements. 2. Applying knowledge and understanding: The teaching aims to provide the student with useful tools to best manage, represent, and communicate their expressed ideas through the learning of both traditional and digital graphic methods and techniques, promoting the student's creativity. It thus provides the skills to manage and communicate a two-dimensional and three-dimensional design project of limited complexity, allowing the student to experiment with autonomous design configurations. 3. Making judgments: The student must be able to recognize and manage visual and graphic tools, critically collect and interpret visual phenomena, thus acquiring their own autonomy of judgment and interpretation. 4. Communication skills: The student must develop the ability to communicate clearly and unambiguously, providing information, ideas, problems, and solutions through visual and verbal communication, such as visual presentations, descriptive reports, graphic works, and physical models. 5. Learning skills: The expected learning outcomes include developing the skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy. Teacher's Profile courseProgram The Basic Design Course takes place on two levels: a purely theoretical one, to provide the student with theories, methods, and representation tools necessary for controlling the three-dimensional project, and an applicative one, to test and experiment with the knowledge acquired. The application part takes place in two phases. The first, dedicated to basic skills to familiarize with design languages, involves the study and direct analysis of a tool. In fact, through the analysis of its form, functionality, technology and semantics, documented with photographs and the different drawing techniques, the skills necessary to manage the creative activities of a project are acquired. The second phase is dedicated to the creative design of three-dimensional and visual elements. examMode During the exam, the project will be evaluated, together with the exercises produced, and the actual knowledge and mastery of the main topics covered and addressed during the course will be verified. books Kandinsky Wassily, 2017 (1968).

119908 - LABORATORY OF DESIGN JURJI FILIERI	Second Semester	12	ICAR/13	Learning objectives EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES (according to the Dublin Descriptors) 1. Knowledge and understanding: Students will gain a solid theoretical understanding of product design processes. They will be able to identify and apply fundamental design methodologies, from the initial phases of research and context analysis to the realization and presentation of design outputs. 2. Applying knowledge and understanding: Students will develop practical skills necessary to apply the theoretical knowledge they have acquired. They will be able to use technical tools and specific software for design, modeling, and graphic representation of products, ensuring consistency between the concept and final outputs. 3. Making judgments: Students will be able to critically analyze the design context, make informed choices during the design process, and evaluate the effectiveness of proposed solutions. They will acquire the ability to self-assess and continuously improve their work, ensuring quality and consistency of design results. 4. Communication skills: Students will develop advanced visual and written communication skills, learning to present their work clearly and professionally. They will be able to create detailed project documents, technical drawings, and effective visual presentations, adapting their communication to different audiences and contexts. 5. Learning skills: Students will acquire the ability to learn independently, allowing them to continue developing advanced design skills over time. They will be able to work collaboratively and manage complex projects in multidisciplinary contexts, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability Teacher's Profile courseProgram In the first part of the course (IDEATIVE PHASE) several project productions are analyzed through the work of contemporary and modern designers, who developed coherent and effective design strategies with reference to the historical and geographical context. The first part is therefore concentrated on cognitive and strategic aspects, which concern the design of product and his market and cultural positioning: - theoretical lessons on methodologies and analysis; - critical evaluation of significant formal languages in the current production; - orientation to the process of choosing and defining the formal language; - approach to the rendering and communication of the project through graphic representation (manual and digital), three-dimensional modeling (virtual and material). In the second part of the course (OPERATIONAL PHASE) the acquired knowledge is reworked and articulated in a series of design actions that lead the student to develop a complete project, through the contemplation of the complex universe surrounding the object of use and the significant enhancement of those elements that contribute to determining acceptance by the user. The course aims to return and reflect the design experience as coherently as possible as it takes place in the professional field; from this derives the choice to include anthropological, social, economic, ecological-environmental, marketing and communication evaluations as an integral part of the evaluations that feed the design project and determine the choices of the contemporary designer. Involvement of experts from the world of practices and business is planned, as well as guided tours in the company or in the field for the direct acquisition of information on production methods related to the examination topic. examMode The exam consists in the presentation and discussion of the individual exercises carried out during the course and the final project also developed in team (max 3 students). This is complemented by the assessment of the learning of theoretical topics. The exam will aim at simultaneously verifying two strategic qualities of the discipline: - a written exam about the realization of a dimensioned sketch of a mechanical component or assembly to evaluate the acquired knowledge, the capacity to use this knowledge and the student autonomy - the cognitive dimension, through a contextual oral test aimed at verifying the theoretical preparation of the student on the topics introduced during the course and the technical ability to share and communicate them. books - Alessi, C.

In the application section, students will gain basic knowledge about how to identify the economic and financial effects of business choices. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to grasp the basic themes of business economics, which will enable them to read documents or participate in debates on company content. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING By the end of this course, the student will have gained fundamental knowledge of interpretive models that can be used to assess a company's internal operations as well as its relationships with the external environment. These models will provide valuable insights into the dynamics of the company, allowing individuals to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to improve its overall performance. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The student will be able to recognize the various types of companies, understand and critically evaluate the roles of the people who operate there, and identify the parts that make up the structure. In addition, the student will be able to quantify the effect that the main management operations have on capital, the FY performance, and internal balances. MAKING JUDGEMENTS At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand the company and its operation as well as the opportunity to undertake certain management operations about the effects that these may have on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the capital and the FY performance and, more generally, on internal balances. COMMUNICATION SKILLS At the end of the course, the student will have acquired an aptitude for the analysis of business administration problems, relational skills, and written and oral expression, with appropriate language to discuss the topics dealt with the different interlocutors. LEARNING SKILLS The student will acquire the above-mentioned skills through a correct approach to individual study and guided the development of exercises and business cases.

Learning objectives

Training Objectives
The general objective of the course is to delimit the conceptual framework of ecodesign and the variables connected to product design, with particular reference to those inherent to the life cycle and to the maintenance and adjustment of performance quality over the expected useful life. This is in order to bring awareness and control of these variables back into the sphere of design and management decision-making, also with reference to the most recent legislative provisions (circular economy, ecodesign, right to repair) regarding the design of industrial products.
The specific objective is to use procedures and methods to associate industrial products with the execution of life cycle extension procedures and strategies.
The course will focus on the materials used and the production chain.
The course will focus on the cognitive and methodological foundations addressed to the topics of product design and sustainability with particular reference to life cycle and circular economy.
Knowledge and Understanding
The course aims to provide students with the necessary knowledge for the proper management of
design and production processes in the field of industrial products. This will enable them to acquire
precise knowledge regarding the life cycle and maintenance of manufactured products, with
particular reference to construction and bio-construction products. Additionally, the course will
ensure that students understand the material from the perspective of its applications and usage, in
compliance with environmental requirements. Specifically, digital modeling and rendering for
products will be covered, along with in-depth studies of relevant software and processing
techniques.
Applied Knowledge and Understanding
The course seeks to help students acquire the knowledge and skills needed to introduce and evaluate
industrial product design and management systems in their various applications, as well as systems
for assessing the life cycle of these products.
Independent Judgment
The course also aims to ensure that students understand the available technologies and can apply
them in different territorial contexts. It seeks to help students develop the necessary skills to transfer
useful design information to other engineering professionals in the field. Moreover, it encourages
the development of independent judgment, fostering critical skills aimed at identifying technical-
scientific problems related to the subject, evaluating management projects, conducting
bibliographic research on scientific, regulatory, and technical sources, and delving into social,
professional, and ethical considerations connected to the application of assessment activities.
Communication Skills
Another objective of the course is to enable students to develop specific communication skills
through educational activities. These skills should ensure an adequate level of communication of
ideas, problems, and solutions related to the technical-scientific education concerning the
relationship between eco-design and the environment.
Learning Skills
The course also aims to promote the development of technological skills necessary for ensuring
students' continuous updating of knowledge useful for carrying out their professional or scientific
activities. This is especially in regard to consulting normative, legislative, technological, digital,

methodological, and experimental innovation sources related to the design and management of
environmentally-conscious industrial products.

Teacher's Profile

courseProgram

The course program aims to identify a theoretical domain for ecodesign, investigating the concepts of product life cycle, and is divided into three parts, each of which takes up a third of the total available hours.

The first module provides a theoretical in-depth study of the concepts of ecodesign, life cycle, and green economy, with each topic requiring approximately 33% of the assigned hours.

The second module focuses on deepening the concepts related to the control of management and design variables. In this phase, practical exercises will also be used with the specific objective of experimenting with processes and methods to associate the executability of procedures and strategies for prolonging the product life cycle with the industrial product. This part also takes up 33% of the available hours.

The third part of the program will be dedicated to exploring the most recent legislative provisions (circular economy, ecodesign, right to repair) in the field of industrial product design, as well as addressing topics related to the materials used and the production chain. The last module will conclude by using the remaining 33% of the available hours.

examMode

The evaluation method consists of an oral exam, conducted through a series of questions designed to assess the student's theoretical knowledge of the topics covered during the course, ensuring that the level of critical awareness developed regarding the main issues addressed is also examined. Additionally, the acquired skills will be evaluated through questions specifically aimed at solving technical problems related to the topics covered during practical exercises. The student must demonstrate an understanding of the procedures and methods for associating industrial products with the execution of procedures and strategies for extending the product life cycle. Any interim test will be administered in written form and will consist of three open-ended questions, with a time allowance of 1 hour and 30 minutes.

The evaluation will be graded on a scale of thirty, with 18 being the minimum passing grade. To achieve this, the student must demonstrate that they have acquired essential skills and basic knowledge of the subject, particularly regarding the execution of procedures related to the product life cycle and circular economy
