DI 3110 Introduction to Means of Transport

By the end of this course, students will be able to understand and apply different illustration techniques in the visualization of designs. Additionally, students will be capable of developing research and communication systems for the presentation of ideas to clients. The main aim of the course is to develop a vehicle which enhances the emotions that humans experience toward a car or other types of vehicles. In order to achieve the above, students will have to do psychological and anthropological research to study our behavior and reactions toward vehicles, motion, and technology.

DI 2330 Product Development and Study II

By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1. Create solutions for highly-complex usage problems requiring systematic project development 2. Apply research, analysis and problem identification techniques to the design of different systems sets, addressing different parameters, such as: use, context, brand language and market. 3. Put into practice knowledge and skills previously acquired in courses such as: sketching, studio model construction, morphology studies, materials analysis and processing.

DI 2320 Industrial Processes and Digital Prototyping

By the end of this course, students will understand the process, parameters and technological variables of material transformation, either by rapid or standard production methods. Thus, students will be able to determine the manufacturing feasibility of a certain product/model. Finally, they will become knowledgeable about the new digital low volume and bespoke manufacturing methods for their application in experimental design.

DI 2240 Prototyping Lab

Upon completion of this course, students will learn about the use and selection of common materials, tools and equipment in the development and production of prototypes, from existing designs and by applying the knowledge acquired in their Materials courses. They will consider and evaluate feasibility, costs, reproduction, and presentation in due time and proper form for implementation in the professional field.

DI 2220 Product and Distribution

By the end of this course, students will design products focused on logistics systems, designing packaging according to the structure of the supply chain, considering the cost of the product, packaging and damage. Students will also understand salient aspects of transportation and inventory management. They will be capable of improving the operating performance of the chain by designing the distribution/packaging system, considering environmental impact and energy consumption issues from product development.

DI 2210 Product Development and Study I

By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1. Create solutions for sets of products having medium-complexity usage problems. 2. Apply research, analysis, and problem identification techniques to the design of different configurations for lines, families, and product sets that meet various parameters: use, context, brand language, and market. 3. Consolidate the various fundamental skills and knowledge acquired in previous courses in sketching, model construction, morphology, materials, and processes.
