Indicazioni metodologiche

Il corso, in lingua inglese,  si svolge in modo frontale tradizionale, talvolta con l'ausilio di slide/filmati/connessioni web. Possono essere inseriti seminari tenuti da esperti. Il materiale didattico a supporto del corso è postato sul portale e-learnng.  Quando possibile vengono organizzate visite presso stabilimenti industriali. L'interazione con lo studente avviene anche al di fuori della lezione mediante ricevimenti settimanali e posta elettronica. Il ricevimento settimanale del docente è concordato all'inizio del corso in base all'orario delle lezioni.

Teaching methods

The course takes place in a traditional frontal way, sometimes with the help of slides / videos / web connections. Seminars held by experts can be included. The teaching material supporting the course is posted on the e-learnng portal. Whenever possible, visits to industrial plants are organized. The interaction with the student also takes place outside the lesson through weekly receptions and e-mails. The weekly reception of the teacher is agreed at the beginning of the course according to the timetable of the lessons.

Modalità d'esame

L'esame consiste in una prova orale tra il candidato e il docente della durata media di 45 minuti.
La prova orale non è superata se il candidato mostra di non essere in grado di descrivere e giusticficare le scelte progettuali e le metodologie utilizzate per la redazione del progetto finale, esprimendosi in modo chiaro e di usando la terminologia corretta

Assessment methods

The exam consists of an oral test between the candidate and the teacher lasting an average of 45 minutes. The oral test is not passed if the candidate proves unable to describe and justify the design choices and the methodologies used for the drafting of the final project, expressing himself clearly and using the correct terminology
