Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO) Module 1 - Advanced Manufacturing Technologies and Systems Knowledge and understanding: 1. This module provides bases and opportunities to originally develop and/or apply knowledge and ideas both in a manufacturing and in a research context. Applying knowledge and understanding: 2. Knowledge provided by the lessons will be applied in the development of a project connected to the studied technologies. Making judgements: 3. This module provides the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and to formulate global judgements as well as specific technologic analysis, evaluating the most suitable production cycle also for complex parts by using advanced technologies. Communication skills: 4. This module provides the ability for the students to work in a group and communicate these conclusions both to specialist and non-specialist audiences. Ability to learn: 5. All the arguments are presented and discussed during the lectures. The study is autonomous, and the students will have the possibility to discuss the achieved knowledge in the development of team course project. Module 2 - Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping Knowledge and understanding: 6. Students will: i. acquire basic knowledge about the main objectives pursued by Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping tools, with a particular focus on their use to design and develop new engineering products; ii. understand the main differences, pros and cons of the alternative technologies to carry out design tasks supported by 3D-printing devices targeting Rapid Prototyping iii. acquire knowledge about Additive Manufacturing processes; iv. be able to identify the advantages and limitations of Reverse Engineering and Additive Manufacturing processes in the overall context of design, manufacturing and industrial engineering. Applying knowledge and understanding: 7. Students will have the chance to apply their knowledge to master processes involving Reverse Engineering, Rapid Prototyping and modelling techniques with a hands-on approach. Making judgments: 8. Students will be able to compare the existing tools that have been developed for 3D scanning and Rapid Prototyping. They will develop critical capabilities about the pros and cons regarding said instruments. In addition, they will be able to explain alternative strategies for achieving the results obtained through Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping within engineering design. Communication skills 9. Students will have the ability to properly discuss the fundamentals of Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping. Ability to learn: 10. Students will be encouraged to consult the literature and the web to keep themselves updated, because of the rapid evolution of the treated technologies, especially Additive Manufacturing 11. Students will be able to combine the knowledge acquired during the course with respect to the theoretical background of the teaching, the experience gathered by means of lab tests and notions about trends in the field, gained through the literature in the domain. Students will have the opportunity to extend the knowledge of the topics of the course by consulting scientific literature, specialized texts, practitioners鈥� materials or websites that the lecturer will suggest during the course.

Module 1: - Report and presentation: 30 minutes per group; ILOs assessed: 2, 4, 5; - Case study written: group; max. 2 hours; ILOS assessed: 1, 3. Module 2: - Written exam: max. 4 hours; ILOs assessed: 6, 8, 9. Formative assessment: The group exercises in the classroom and in the laboratory through experiential learning, conversations with the lecturer and the performance in specific tasks would enable the assessment and evaluation of the students鈥� ability to apply their knowledge and understanding of the topics (7.) covered during the course, as well as their achieved communication skills (9.). Summative assessment: The final exam is a written test, which mainly assesses the knowledge and understanding of the topics of the course (6.). Specific questions and exercises are tailored to assess students鈥� capabilities to make judgements and selections (8.), and their understanding of the objectives of the practical activities (7.). To this respect, details are found in 鈥淓valuation criteria鈥� below. The ILO (10) will not be assessed.

Criters de valutazion
Module 1 Written exam (50%) and specific tasks, written report and oral project presentation (50%) 鈥� Relevant for written exam: clarity of answers, ability to summarize, evaluate, and establish relationships between topics, use of drawing and scheme of the processes; 鈥� Relevant for project: ability to work in a team, creativity, skills in critical thinking, ability to identify new solutions using the described technologies. Module 2 The evaluation criteria of the exam are tailored to test the knowledge of the topics of the course, the clarity of the answers and the appropriateness of the language of the student, the pertinence and the relevance of the response and the autonomy of judgment, as well the capability of critically selecting alternatives for supporting engineering design processes. Specific questions will aim to assess the ability of the student to present, communicate and discuss the design objectives favored by Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping techniques. Other questions will verify the student鈥檚 comprehension of the main practical issues emerged during practical activities, for instance the motivations behind the need to perform auxiliary functions to the scope of successful 3D scanning and printing operations. Additional exercises could be oriented to the evaluation of the judgement skills by proposing potential industrial problems and asking for the most appropriate technologies that might aid in the overcoming of said problems. In the written test, the maximum number of points achievable by positively completing each exercise and answering each question will be clearly indicated. Points might be subtracted if the quality of the language will be considered unsatisfactory, with specific reference to the terms characterizing the teaching. Please note that the final mark for the course 鈥淒esign and Manufacturing of Industrial Products鈥� will be the average of the marks achieved in the modules 鈥淩everse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping鈥� and 鈥淎dvanced Manufacturing Technologies and Systems鈥�.
