AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The objectives of the module are as follows:


- Introduce the student to the way of control the planning of complex products.


- Provide an awareness and knowledge of the user’s expectations (by a design approach top-down so as bottom-up).

- Provide the student a methodology for orienting the design to the understanding of the different using destinations, typologies and market expectations. Fundamental training moments are the creation of sensitivity towards this particular sector of shipping, the communications dedicated to learning the elements of the design process and the practical activities aimed at laying the foundations for the actual design.


As part of the module, students will acquire a project approach methodology oriented towards the understanding of the status of the art of this market by the following items:

-Research and analysis;

- conception and synthesis;

Then the work may follows as shown hereinafter:

- elaboration of sketches and technical drawings;

- graphic panels editing and technical 3D models;


- presentation and exhibition of the works.


The practical project activities will enable students to learn to manage their social interactions with a collaborative attitude and constructive communication; they will also lead to autonomous decision-making, an aptitude for managing team work, coordination between several people and different skills as well as the ability to manage uncertainty.

TEACHING METHODS

The teaching is delivered through different and complementary activities, the main being:

- theoretical lessons and seminaries;


- group activities (debates, brief, brainstorming, project reviews...);


- external professional guests visits;

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The module concerns:


- design composition principles, also for not vehicle contexts.


- recognising, awareness and categorizing of vehicle typologies.

- introduction to design layout, materials and construction technologies typical of private or public vehicles.

- approach to the planning project, consisting of guidelines, design process and method.


- case study presentation and practical application.

During the module, some external professional guests visits, detail studies, exercises and short projects are also considered.
Both theoretical lessons and practical application of Design 2 (concept and product) are interconnected to the design activities of Industrial Design 2 (service and event).
The specific topic of the year is defined before the lessons start and it will be promptly communicated to students on the Aulaweb pages. Aulaweb and the dedicated channel on TEAMS platform are the main tools for communication and weekly updates by professors.
The practical and design applications involve the students' use of some of the software illustrated in other modules, including those included in the Office 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud packages, Rhinoceros for two- and three-dimensional project graphics and other commercially available free software are considered.

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Oral Examination: The examination consists of the delivery and presentation of all papers produced during the module and critical dissertation of them also in relation to the theoretical content delivered during the semester.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Oral discussion with a presentation of the graphic works produced during the teaching.

The discussion of the materials presented by the students will be evaluated on the basis of completeness, the ability to interpret, deepen and render graphically with respect to the assigned topic, and aims to verify the knowledge and understanding of the theoretical notions delivered. The evaluation also considers the ability to critically rework the concepts acquired and orient them to practical design applications.

The illustrated modality allows the training objectives listed above to be achieved and the level of maturity attained with respect to the themes of mega-yacht and passenger cruise ships.

Finally, since the course involves the awarding of Open Badges, the oral interview and the group activity carried out during the semester contribute to verifying the acquisition of the stated Soft Skills.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Students with disabilities or learning disorders are allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the Delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities.
