BASIC COMPETENCES

CB01. Students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a field of study that is part of the general secondary education curricular, and is typically at a level which, although it is supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that involve knowledge of the forefront of their field of study.

CB02. Students can apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have competences typically demonstrated through devising and defending arguments and solving problems within their field of study.

CB03. Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) to inform judgments that include an important reflection on social, scientific or ethical issues.

CB04. Students can communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.

CB05. Students have developed those skills needed to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.

GENERAL COMPETENCES

GC01. Able to acquire basic knowledge of the profession of industrial design, to combine that generalist knowledge and expertise with those who generate innovative and competitive proposals.

GC04. Ability to organize time effectively and coordinate activities to acquire new knowledge quickly and perform under pressure.

GC05. Capacity to collect, manage, analyze and synthesize information from various sources for the development of design projects and product development. Capacity to use this documentation to obtain conclusions aimed at solving problems and making decisions with initiative, creativity and critical thinking, in order to generate new product concepts, new ideas and solutions.

GC06. Ability to generate the necessary documentation for the proper transmission of ideas through graphics, reports and technical documents, models and prototypes, oral presentations in Spanish and other languages.

GC07. Ability to use and master techniques, skills, tools and techniques and communication and others specific of design engineering needed for design practice.

GC08. Ability to learn continuously, to develop autonomous learning strategies and to work in multidisciplinary groups with motivation and determination to achieve goals.

GC09. Knowing the industries, organizations, regulations and procedures and other elements to be considered in industrial design projects.

GC10. Ability to plan, budget, organize, direct and control tasks, people and resources.

SPECIFIC COMPETENCES

SC05. Ability to conduct effective and professional presentations through drawing and digital technologies using visual skills to communicate ideas and concepts quickly and efficiently, by selecting the most appropriate media and content.

SC17. Ability to make models and prototypes using workshop techniques and tools. Know and master three-dimensional representation techniques traditional and digital as well as its tools and materials.

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process that is designed for this subject is based on the following:

6 credits of the subject corresponding to 150 hours of student work, organized in:

Theory class 20
Lab 40
Carrying out practical application or research work 55
Teacher-student tutoring 10
Study and personal work 15
Assessment tests 10

5.2. Learning tasks

1. Theoretical and practical classes

3 contact hours per week will be dedicated to theoretical and practical classes. The lecture will combine the use of slate and computer, in which the theoretical contents and resolution of digital graphic activities will be presented without an explicit separation between them. Students were provided with theoretical explanations with clarifier examples. 

2. Computer practices

Computer practical sessions of 3 hours each to be taught in a computer labs will be made. Software used will allow students to carry them out. This software will allow the student to develop the planned activities and help the understanding of the proposed learning outcomes. Students work individually.

3. Supervised projects

These works are develop both individually and in groups.

4. Workshop practices

They are distributed throughout the semester and their assessment will be part of the final grade for the course. Training in techniques of representation of 3D models is carried out both classroom work, computer classroom management programs and associated laboratory work to acquire the knowledge and use of tools and machines needed.

5. Independent work of the student.

The student will apply content rights treaties to solve the proposed work. This activity is essential in the learning process and overcoming evaluation activities.

5.3. Syllabus

· Topic 1: Graphic styles and application in various stages of design.

· Topic 2: Digitization of sketches. Converting bit map vector graphics. Sketching tablet.

· Topic 3: Contour drawing. Line modulation. Construction of axes, symmetries, unseen parts, kinetic lines, etc.

· Topic 4: Treatment digital chiaroscuro.

· Topic 7: Human figure. Heads and hands.

· Topic 8: Human figure. Synthesis anatomy and dummy.

· Topic 9: Conceptual panels design.

· Topic 10: Definition of model and prototype. Types of models.

· Topic 11: Materials and equipment for performing physical models.

· Topic 12: Techniques execution of physical models.

· Topic 13: Virtual models. Definition, use, and types.

· Topic 14: From the virtual model to physical model.

· Topic 15: Techniques execution of virtual models.
