Bildungsziele
The course aims to provide the student with the basic critical tools for the formation of their own project methodology in the field of product design, treating wood as the main theme. The student will be gradually introduced into the discipline, with targeted design methodology lessons, supported by the analysis of real case studies. The invitation of sector experts (companies and/or professionals operating in the fields of product design or in the world of design) and possible external educational visits will complete the contents of the lessons. The assignment of theoretical-practical exercises, which will present problems of increasing complexity, will see the course "42609 Product Design" integrated with the course "42610 Laboratory of Product Design", for the practical application of the theoretical methodologies addressed during the semester. Knowledge and understanding: 鈥� D1.1 鈥� Knowledge of the key concepts and technologies of data science disciplines. Knowledge of the fundamentals of industrial design and product design that allow you to understand, analyze and evaluate the objective quality of an artefact. 鈥� D1.2 鈥� Understanding of the skills, tools and techniques required for an effective use of data science. Ability to understand the various phases of conception, conception, development, presentation and creation of a design product. 鈥� D1.11 鈥� Knowledge of the main algorithms for data analysis, and of elements of the complexity theory.

Art der Pr眉fung
Assessment / Attending students The exam consists of the overall evaluation of the work carried out during the course (whether individual or in a team). In particular, the design quality of the projects created in compliance with the assigned briefs, the ability to rework and apply the theoretical notions learned, and the commitment made throughout the duration of the 鈥�42610 Laboratory of Product Design鈥� will be judged. Autonomy in the presentation of a design project with appropriate methods and technical language and respect for deadlines in the delivery of the requested documents contribute to the definition of the final grade. Exam modalities / Non-attending students The exam consists of the overall evaluation of the work carried out during the course (whether individual or in a team). In particular, the design quality of the projects created in compliance with the assigned briefs, the ability to rework and apply the theoretical notions learned, and the commitment made throughout the duration of the 鈥�42610 Laboratory of Product Design鈥� will be judged. Autonomy in the presentation of a design project with appropriate methods and technical language and respect for deadlines in the delivery of the requested documents contribute to the definition of the final grade. Reviews with the teacher on the projects assigned during the semester are required, in a manner to be agreed upon and according to the course calendar, with delivery of the requested papers on OLE. Projects must be evaluated DURING the course and BEFORE the final exam, otherwise the exam cannot be recorded. Even if attendance of this course is highly recommended, please inform the teacher at the beginning of the course if you will take the exam as a Non-attending student.

Bewertungskriterien
Evaluation criteria for Attending students and for Non-attending students Project鈥檚 deadlines are mandatory. Partial projects or missed deadlines determine a partial evaluation which will contribute to the student's final mark. The presentation of the final project is required to be admitted to the final exam.
