Learning outcomes
At the end of the module the student, through confrontation with real cases of design problems proposed in an extended manner or through full-immersion experiences, knows how to identify the margins of obtainable results, undertake a pre-design research path, configure the design process to be adopted and produce a final design, also through physical modelling (for study, for volume control, for presentation to possible clients and for production purposes).
Course contents
The aim of the Industrial Design Course T is to provide the student with the rudiments for the development of a personal design methodology applied to a predefined theme.
An intensive 5-day workshop is planned during the teaching period.
The 'workshop' week will represent a moment of student-faculty co-design, an intensive session of shared work in which homogeneous groups will confront each other on a classic design theme. They will be asked not only to think 'individually', but to adopt a critical and pro-active attitude towards others, suggesting changes, hypothesising solutions, opening up new design corridors. The pace will be intense, punctuated by regular theoretical-practical deliveries that will conclude with a public presentation on Friday during which each group will have to produce a realistic working prototype of the project, supported by graphic tables and a short video demonstration of its operation.

Assessment methods
The examination will be organised in one day, the following outputs will be required:
Coursework
Sketch book
Book describing the design process from concept to prototype
Technical tables
Prototype scale 1:1
In addition, each of the results obtained in the individual teaching modules will be assessed. The criteria will be communicated by the lecturers responsible for the teaching modules. The various assessments will form the final assessment of each student (partly the result of collective work and partly of individual work). Contributing to the formulation of the assessment are
- active participation in the course;
- quality of the work submitted;
- punctuality to lessons and assignments.
Teaching tools
lectures (presentations/slideshows);
Punctual reviews of students' work progress;
Collective reviews of the progress of students' work planned for the various teaching modules (presentations/slideshows by the students and choral discussion with the lecturer);
Monographic lectures and seminars with invited guests (the calendar will be made available at the beginning of the course).
