Objectives
- KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE COURSE CONTRIBUTES TO THE TRAINING OF ENGINEERS ABLE TO USE TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS FOR THE ASSISTED DESIGN OF COMPONENTS, SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES. IT IS ORIENTED TOWARDS INTEGRATED VIRTUAL DESIGN BY PROPOSING CONTENTS RELATING TO THE MAIN METHODS OF COMPUTER-ASSISTED THREE-DIMENSIONAL GRAPHIC AND GEOMETRIC MODELING, TO THE DESIGN PROCEDURES AND GENERATION OF THE RELATIVE DOCUMENTATION AND TO INTEGRATION WITH THE SKILLS OF DIMENSIONING AND/OR CHOOSING MECHANICAL COMPONENTS. KNOWLEDGE IS ALSO PROVIDED ON THE MAIN DESIGN AID TOOLS WITHIN THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CYCLE AND ON REVERSE ENGINEERING, RAPID PROTOTYPING AND CAXX MODELING TECHNOLOGIES.

- APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND THE TERMINOLOGY USED IN THE FIELD OF 3D MODELING; KNOW THE MAIN 3D MODEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN METHODOLOGIES OF A VIRTUAL DESIGN SYSTEM.
USE THE MAIN 3D MODELING TOOLS AND APPLY THE BEST PROCEDURES FOR USING VIRTUAL MODELS WITH SIMULATION SOFTWARE.
USE COMMERCIAL AND STANDARD COMPONENTS AND PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES MADE BY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE DESIGN TEAM

- MAKING JUDGMENTS
CHOOSE THE RIGHT COMMERCIAL TOOLS BASED ON THE REQUIRED NEEDS AND IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS TO USE THEM, POSSIBLY CUSTOMIZING THEM TO OPTIMIZE THE DESIGN PROCESS

- COMMUNICATION SKILLS
WORK IN GROUPS AND PRODUCE AND PRESENT PROJECT DOCUMENTATION USING TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY CORRECTLY.

- LEARNING SKILLS
APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE ALSO USING DIFFERENT SOFTWARE, EVEN IN DIFFERENT FIELDS, AND EXTEND THEM TO THE TOPICS PROPOSED IN THE MASTER'S DEGREE COURSES IN RELATION TO SURFACE MODELING AND THE USE OF OTHER VIRTUAL ANALYSIS TOOLS
Prerequisites
FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SET GOALS, THE MATHEMATICAL AND INFORMATIONAL KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE COURSE IS REQUIRED, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO EUCLIDEAN, CARTESIAN, ALGEBRAIC AND DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES 30 HOURS OF FRONTAL TEACHING, 10 HOURS OF TEACHING SEMINARS IN COLLABORATION WITH INDUSTRY EXPERTS AND 20 HOURS OF TUTORIALS DURING WHICH STUDENTS WILL BE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN SOFTWARE TO LEARN 3D MODELING MODES AND LOGIC.
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SET OBJECTIVES WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH
A TEST ON THE THEORY TOPICS TO VERIFY THE LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES A) AND B). THE TEST CONSTITUTES 30% OF THE EVALUATION AND IS CONSIDERED PASSED WITH 50% OF THE CORRECT ANSWERS;
A PRACTICAL MODELING TEST OF A SIMPLE MECHANISM AND THE CREATION OF ONE OR MORE TABLES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW, TO VERIFY THE LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES C) AND D). THE PROOF CONSTITUTES 40% OF THE EVALUATION AND IS CONSIDERED SUFFICIENT IF THE CANDIDATE CORRECTLY IMPLEMENTS A SIMPLE MECHANISM
THE (OPTIONAL) DISCUSSION OF A DESIGN PAPER. IT CONSTITUTES 40% OF THE EVALUATION AND IS USED TO VERIFY THE LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT OF TRAINING OBJECTIVES C) AND D). THE REALIZATION AND DISCUSSION OF A PROJECT WORK, ON A THEME AGREED WITH THE TEACHER, ALLOWS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION. THE PAPER MUST CONSIST OF A TECHNICAL REPORT DESCRIBING THE CONTEXT AND THE DESIGN CHOICES AND THE MAIN SIZING CALCULATIONS, UP TO THE BILL OF MATERIALS, THE COMPLETE 3D MODEL AND THE DRAWING UP OF NON-COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES. THE CLARITY AND COMPLETENESS OF THE DOCUMENTATION, THE CONGRUENCE BETWEEN SIZING AND CONFIGURATION AND THE LEVEL OF USE OF THE CAD TOOLS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT ARE EVALUATED. THE DESIGNED PRODUCT, EVEN IF NOT ENGINEERED, MUST BE FUNCTIONAL AND FEASIBLE.
