Design Laboratory II: User Centered Design (6 ETCS)
Professionals in this field can develop projects related to:
- The generation of creative and innovative solutions that put the user in the center of the project.
- The use of tools for the understanding of needs and aspirations of users according to their user typology.
- The development of products and services as strategic vectors of business' competitiveness.
Design Laboratory II: User Centered Design
Smart Products (6 ETCS)
This subject studies methods for heat exchange system calculations, presents different models to analyze in terms of thermodynamics both rotating and positive reciprocating thermal machines and develops different constructive aspects of these machines.
The graduates in Industrial Design Engineering must be able to conceptualize, design and prototype smart connected products that feature more advanced characteristics than their traditional equivalent versions. The graduate in Industrial Design Engineering must carry out these activities taking into consideration additional aspects such as user experience, business potential and target market, or production cost, in order to achieve optimal smart product design. Consequently, during this course the student will explore related concepts and will develop experimental activities for acquiring this competence.

Design Laboratory III: Services and Experiences Design (6 ETCS)
This subject provides the graduate in Industrial Design Engineering with an introduction to the new Design paradigm, showing how to work through this new scenario. In order to achieve this, methodologies are applied, methods are studied and activities are carried out in this subject, which will enable the design of both experiences and services.
This course combines open source and/or commercially available software with rapid prototyping equipment such as laser cutter, 3D printers, vinyl cutter and milling machines. Students will fabricate different assignments during the semester learning how to do the fabrication on their own and sharing the experience with others. In this concept, students will "create rather than consume technology" while "locally design and fabricate solutions" removing barriers such as access to equipment, access to expertise or even access to knowhow.
