This course aims to promote and develop students' critical attitude and knowledge of commonly used functions and mechanisms, through study and analysis. By the end of this course, students will be acquainted with the limitations that function imposes on design. Additionally, they will learn about the different types of mechanisms, thus broadening their creative ability.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Create solutions, focusing on the basic needs of user groups with limited access to products and services for geographic and/or socioeconomic reasons. 2. Understand and apply different strategies in the creative development stage, aiming to experience different outcomes of the same problem, thus discovering intelligent solutions through those different perspectives. 3. Apply the different fundamental skills and knowledge acquired in previous courses in sketching, model construction, morphology, materials, and processes.

Upon completion of this course, students will know and understand the physical, chemical, and transformation attributes of polymers and composite materials currently in the market for their application in the creation of products and objects, with sustainable considerations. Furthermore, students will learn and understand existing technology and resources for the processing of such polymers and composites, As well as the technology and resources to process them; visualizing the incorporation of intelligent materials.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Analyze and study the social, economic, and environmental impact of a sustainable project within a given context with a particular aim to apply international standards and product development processes from a sustainable perspective. 2. Review and understand the object's sustainability requirements and standards by selecting, explaining, relating, demonstrating, and solving all factors involved in the design and its impact on the environment, before, during, and after the useful life of the object.

The aim of this course is for students to apply advanced quick representations skills in drawings and sketches to propose designs for the visual communication of industrial design projects.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to describe the physical, chemical, and transformation attributes of metallic, vitreous, and composite materials currently in the market. Furthermore, students will be able to describe the technology and available resources in the processing of those materials and composites for their application for product and object creation in the market.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Understand and apply different strategies in the creative development phase of the process in order to experience different approaches to the same problem and find intelligent solutions through these different perspectives. 2. Apply the different fundamental skills and previously acquired knowledge of sketching, model construction, morphology, materials and processes. 3. Finally, students will be able to create user-centered solutions for low and medium complexity products, creating or fulfilling needs in the market.

By the end of this course, students will have acquired the knowledge necessary to analyze and generate shapes with a higher level of complexity. These new levels of complexity will be studied with the aim of generating spatial surfaces and plyhedrons as space organization elements. Additionally, students will be able to describe and express shapes, from the following three perspectives: their geometrical elements, their key attributes, and their actual implementation methods.

The aim of this course is for students to be able to understand and identify, the elements in the man-object relationship and apply them to the design of products; supporting their decisions on international ergonomics standards and considering everyday and labor environmental factors.
