DI 3320 Materials Strength and Simulation

The aim of this course is enable students to identify and interpret the characteristics of the product and the environment surrounding it by using specialized software. Furthermore, students will be able to analyze the internal and external forces of a product for strength calculation purposes. Finally, students will be capable of studying and modeling a product based on its operational conditions.

DI 3130 Industrial Design Accentuation Course

This course aims to enable students to study and interpret an environment, identify design opportunities and propose design solutions through a course of reasoning based on research. Students will also be able to set up highly complex design products and prepare them for production. Finally, students will be capable of developing their own design methodology to manage a design project professionally, covering all of its development stages.

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.
