Overview

Date/time interval

Primo Semestre (29/09/2025 - 19/12/2025)

Syllabus

Course Objectives

The general objective of the course is to provide the useful tools for the management of the industrial design process capable of incorporating the time variable within the project in order to realise a product that can have a life corresponding to the prescribed one and that once disused can be easily sent to re-use or recycling cycles.
The training profile pursued is that of a professional able to deal with issues of terotechnological design through the control of aspects related to the quality and safety of materials and connection systems.

Course Prerequisites

none

Teaching Methods

The following teaching methods are envisaged in the ‘Design’ course: frontal lessons, seminars for in-depth study of specific topics, practical exercise.
In the exercise, progressively developed during the course in order to study a specific case study in depth, each group of students, consisting of a maximum of three members, will have the opportunity to analyse the needs of a specific category of users and to experiment and graphically represent effective solutions and answers for the indicated context. Great importance in the learning process is attached to the elaboration of models, virtual and real, progressively refined.

Assessment Methods

The examination is conducted by means of an oral interview of the individual student on the set of topics covered in the course and what was developed in the exercise.

Contents

The course deals with the study of industrial design for a conscious design of the durability dimension of products in the perspective of a circular economy.
The Design course is divided into two modules.
The first module, of theoretical acquisition, allows students to acquire the constituent concepts of terotechnology in the field of industrial design, also through specialised contributions, in particular, on materials and production processes for design.
A second module, of design application, consists of the development of a design experience, on a theme indicated by the lecturer. Elements of interior design will be developed in this area.
The cultural and strategic aspects of the maintenance culture will be outlined, in its most recent evolution, in relation to the now inescapable need to operate in order to implement a circular economy, and the fundamental contents will be given back for an evolution of the maintenance discipline useful for pursuing the innovation of design technologies towards a sustainability of products attentive to the dimension of duration.
In detail, the following contents will be explained
1. Maintainability for product design
2. Maintainability in the life cycle of a system
3. Maintainability criteria for product ecodesign
4. Factors and measures for maintainability analysis
5. Maintainability, reliability and safety
