General description

O obxectivo do curso é introducir ao alumno no vínculo tradicional entre o arquitecto e o deseño industrial. O curso achégase á disciplina do deseño industrial e a figuras de arquitectos que desenvolveron unha actividade profesional relevante neste campo. Os contidos teóricos da materia apoian as prácticas de deseño industrial de obxectos. Coméntase a historia do moble; o material no proceso de deseño (madeira, vidro, aceiro); solucións con ensambles, parafusos e encolados; ergonomía no deseño.

Directed discussion	A1 A2 A3 A4 A34 A36 A39 A40 A48 A53 A54 A55 A61 A67 B1 B2 B3 B5 B6 B7 C1 C3 C4 C7	Progress and evolution of the proposals are scored as well as the occupation that is being acquired.	40
Mixed objective/subjective test	A53 A54 A55 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B12 C3	Personalized learning is analyzed, evaluating the final work presented and the face-to-face test, making up a total of 60% of the grade in the score. The final work will represent 40% and the face-to-face test will represent 20%, adding between the two the total of 60%.	60

Assessment comments
The final mark is set when evaluating the final work. At the end of the course the student has a certain capacity that must be satisfactory. The evaluation criteria for both, the first and the second opportunity, includes: - 40% of the grade marks the progress and evolution of the proposals, as well as the skill that is acquired through participation in the guided discussion; - 60% of the grade depends on the mixed test, where 40% assesses the final work of the course and 20% the exam at classroom. Whether attending the first or the second opportunity, for the qualification corresponding to the participation and evolution in the directed discussion (reviews in class), it is necessary that the student attends and participates regularly in the classes, being considered as such a minimum of 80% attendance.
